Yeah, against.
http://www.jta.org/2015/08/12/news-opinion/united-states/interfaith-group-releases-video-against-nuclear-deal
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, a pro-Israel group, announced the campaign on Tuesday, urging millions of Christians to lobby Congress against the deal reached last month between Iran and six world powers.
The 30-second video pays homage to the Cold War-era Daisy advertisement for Lyndon Johnson during the 1964 presidential election campaign. The ad against the use of nuclear weapons featured a little girl.
In the new video, a young boy closes his eyes and counts as a young girl hides. An ominous voice takes over the countdown before the screen cuts to a nuclear explosion mushroom cloud. A final message implores viewers to tell Washington NO to a nuclear Iran.
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, president and founder of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, said in a statement, If this agreement is ratified, Americans will for the first time in a generation understand what it means to have a credible threat of annihilation looming over the heads of our children and grandchildren, and in that way will understand better than ever the threat that hangs over Israelis every day.
