New York City Mayor-Elect Bill de Blasio disagrees with New York’s senior Senator, Chuck Schumer’s vocal opposition to the Obama administration’s most recent steps taken on the sanctions regime against Iran.
“I have a different view on the issue. The administration is doing the right thing,” Mr. de Blasio told reporters following a public event Wednesday afternoon. “These negotiations are promising, and this could be the best way to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.”
Mr. de Blasio, who was a staunch supporter of the sanctions regime and even created an Iran watch list as Public Advocate, said Wednesday, that the current deal reached in Geneva “is a positive step.”
“There is no closer relationship on earth — literally no closer relationship — than that between New York City and the state of Israel.” Mr. de Blasio declared in the final days of the campaign for mayor. “As mayor, It’s my sacred responsibility to speak out and defend the State of Israel.”
Apparently, the State of Israel and her leader don’t feel defended by the deal. According to a poll conducted by Israel’s channel two, 60 percent of Israelis believe the interim deal with Iran “endangers” Israel’s security. A whopping 76% of Israelis don’t think the US deal with Iran will stop them from becoming a nuclear nation, a similar poll found.

So glad, I did not vote for De Blasio. I can’t believe how many jews endorsed this man for mayor. I am so scared his term will be even worse then the Dinkins era.
great , now this is what we have to listen to for the next four years.
A politician being two faced…in other news, water is wet and the sun is hot..
Oh good. Another Obama hack.
DeBlasio has shown his true Anti Semitic/Anti Frum feelings again and again. I would like to hear the Michanfim who publicly supported this lowlife defend this bum! This piece of trash is a twin Brother of Hussain Obama!
You know, there is something about democrats and liberals. They are literally stupid! They must be missing a nutrient from when they were children. They are certainly missing a very important screw!
If you liked Dinkins, you’re going to love DeBlasio. If you like what Obama is doing to the country, you are really going to love what DeBlasio if going to do to New York City. Look at Detroit and see what the future holds for New York. Socialism didn’t work in Russia or anywhere else, it’ll just destroy NY. How a frum Jew could have voted for this person is beyond belief. Enjoy.
As President Clinton would say “It’s NYC Stupid”
LOL!!! NYC Got what they voted for “A fellow Stupidangus liberal/evil animal with a tie and a mic”
Hitler didn’t kill people, his mouth & policies did
