1. RE: “Israel Says ‘No’ to Iran War”

   MY COMMENT: Please help Tikkun/NSP run the following ad in major American newspapers.

   No Mr. Netanyahu, No President Obama:
   No War on Iran and No First Strike

   Some who have signed this ad believe that the best path for homeland security is through rejecting the old-fashioned “domination strategy” to get your way…

      Clear fissures have developed among pro-Israel groups — not only between hawks and doves over whether to use military force against Iran, but among hard-liners themselves over just how aggressively to confront it.
      Sheldon Adelson, a billionaire casino owner who is a staunch supporter of Israel, was once a major donor to Aipac.
