IRAN's
THREAT - JOIN
GROGGERFORCE.COM
With news about a possible dialogue between
the US and Iran, and with the lead-up to the
Jewish holiday of Purim, it struck me there
are many similarities between the story of
Purim and the growing crisis in Iran. Iran
is modern-day Persia and President
Ahmadinejad seems to be acting like Haman.
With a new Congress and a new UN Secretary
General, and with the news of possible
meetings planned between the Administration
and Iran, we must make sure that every leader
understands the importance of this issue.
This past week, more than 350 Hillel students
lobbied Congress about Iran. Won't you join
them and let our leaders know the importance
of continued sanctions against Iran?

petition and add your voice.
