Leftists Rally to Support IranÂ’s Genocidal Quest for Nukes

Far-left activists Ramsey Clark and Sara Flounders, co-founders of the International Action Center (IAC), have initiated a petition entitled “Hands Off Iran,” supporting the genocidal regime’s right to maintain a nuclear program. The petition-signing event, described by the IAC as a “gala celebration for Ramsey Clark’s 85th birthday and the 20th anniversary of the International Action Center,” took place on January 13 at the Riverside Church in New York City.

As an attorney, Clark’s client list reads like a Who’s Who of terrorist thugs. They include PLO officials sued by the family of Leon Klinghoffer, a wheelchair-bound American Jew who was thrown overboard from the cruise ship Achille Lauro in 1986; Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, who died in prison before he would have been convicted of genocide; the terrorists who attempted to blow up the World Trade Center in 1993, including “Blind Sheikh” Omar Abdel Rahman whom he still supports; four terrorists involved in the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224; and Saddam Hussein in his war-crimes trial. Staying true to form, Clark also founded Indict Bush Now in 2010 to investigate “war crimes” committed by George W. Bush and other members of his administration during the Iraq conflict.
For her part, Clark’s associate, Sara Flounders, whole-heartedly supports the terrorist group Hamas, whose animating charter explicitly calls for the destruction of Israel and the killing of world Jewry. According to the Anti-Defamation League, Flounders said at a 2009 conference, “We need to militantly support Hamas … We need to make it clear that we support the right to resist, the right to fire rockets[.]” Flounders also “saluted the resistance in Iraq in Afghanistan” responsible for killing American troops, as well as the “heroic” Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah. The fanatical leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, notoriously said in 2004, “If Jews all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.”

Yesterday, after meeting with several senators from the United States, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed the utter folly of Americans like Ramsey Clark and his fellow travelers at the IAC. ”History will not forgive those who do not stop Iran’s nuclear program,” he warned. Nor will history forgive people like Ramsey Clark, a man so blinded by hatred of his own nation and Israel he can’t begin to imagine what a useful idiot he has been for thugs and genocidal fanatics.
