Interfaith group releases video against nuclear deal

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.”

I mean, facts aren't required these days, but still.
