As the Jewish New Year begins, U.S. & world leaders keep saying the Iran deal will bring “peace & safety.” They repeat it like a mantra. Why, especially when Israelis don’t believe it?

As we begin the Jewish New Year on Sunday evening, many Israelis — both Jews and Arabs — are anxious about what the coming year holds. And the Iran nuclear deal has only increased their concerns.
Why do President Obama, the U.N. Secretary General, and most leaders of the international community support the Iran agreement so strongly, while only 21% of the American people support it, and most Americans and Israelis see the deal as deeply flawed and dangerous?
This is the question I keep being asked in interviews, and it’s an important one.
The short answer is that most world leaders say the Iran deal is “historic” and support it because they are convinced it wil put the world on the path to “peace and safety.”
As you can see from the list of quotes I have compiled below, this is the language being used over and over again by American and foreign leaders — peace, safety, security, historic. Pundits and editorial writers are saying the same thing. They all repeat it like a mantra, that the deal will provide the world (and Israel) with unprecedented “peace and safety.”
Sen. Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat who opposes the Iran deal, put his finger precisely on the central issue.
“Ultimately, it depends on how one thinks Iran will behave,” Schumer recently explained. “If one thinks Iran will moderate, one should approve the agreement. But if one feels that Iranian leaders won’t moderate and their unstated but very real goal is to get relief from the onerous sanctions, while still retaining their nuclear ambitions and their ability to increase belligerent activities in the Middle East and elsewhere, then one should conclude that it would be better not to approve this agreement.”
