| [NYT] WASHINGTON -- President Obama appealed to a divided and troubled Jewish community on Friday, defending his nuclear accord with Iran as in the security interest of both the United States and Israel, and calling for a more civil debate with a congressional vote just weeks away. In an Internet broadcast from the White House, Mr. Obama took questions from the largest Jewish umbrella organizations. He pledged that the vitriol surrounding the Iran debate would pass quickly as the United States, Israel and allies in the Middle East move toward confronting Iranian aggression beyond its nuclear ambitions. Champ wearing a kippah, nearly as over the top as his defense of the Iranian deal. |

| #1 Divided community - socialists who claim to be Jewish and the Jewish community. Last time I checked the God of Moses wrote something about - thou shall not covet, thou shall not bear false witness, thou shall not steal. |
