Elie Wiesel Backs Netanyahu U.S. Speech

WASHINGTON (Reuters/Hamodia) —

Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel is lending his support to Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s March 3 speech to Congress on the dangers of Iran’s nuclear program.

Full-page advertisements in two of the leading U.S. newspapers, The New York Times and The Washington Post, are scheduled to appear, featuring Wiesel’s endorsement of Netanyahu’s speech.
The advertisement quotes Wiesel as saying he plans to attend Netanyahu’s address “on the catastrophic danger of a nuclear Iran.” Wiesel asks Obama and others in the ad: “Will you join me in hearing the case for keeping weapons from those who preach death to Israel and America?”

Netanyahu got backing from another prominent figure, as well, as former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee Huckabee unequivocally endorsed the speech during a visit to Yerushalayim on Sunday.

Huckabee said Netanyahu should “absolutely” speak to the Congress, as planned.

“America needs to know what those dangers are with Iran,” he said.
