J Street ad features Israeli generals supporting Iran deal
The liberal American Jewish lobbying group J Street has published a new video extolling the nuclear deal signed between six world powers and Iran and asserting that it is “good for Israel; good for America.”
The video quotes several former top security officials in the Israeli army and intelligence agencies, to the effect that the deal will prevent the Islamic Republic from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
The video is published in the midst of a fierce debate between supporters and opponents of the deal in the US Congress, which is in the midst of a review period before it votes on the deal.
Most US Jewish groups, including the powerful American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, have aligned with Israel, which opposes the deal.
