No, American Jews Don't Support The Iran Deal

Earlier this week, the head of J Street — the American advocacy group that consistently pressures and criticizes Israel from the left — wrote a piece for the Washington Post’s “Outrage Machine” blog in which he claimed that the real “pro-Israel” position is to be in favor of the P5+1 nuclear deal with Iran. Not only is Jeremy Ben-Ami, predictably, wrong, but his organization once again finds itself trying to sell a clearly-marked box of hemlock by calling it baking soda.
To bolster his argument, Ben-Ami cited a recent poll published by the Jewish Journal of Los Angeles that found a majority of American Jews support the deal, and a plurality want Congress to approve it.
First and foremost, the poll cited by Ben-Ami is garbage. The pollsters asked respondents if they would support “an agreement . . . reached in which the United States and other countries would lift major economic sanctions against Iran, in exchange for Iran restricting its nuclear program in a way that makes it harder for it to produce nuclear weapons.”
