Major Democratic Donor: Israel Should “Bomb The Daylights” Out Of Iran
Haim Saban and Sheldon Adelson weigh in on the Iran talks, the peace process, and more. Saban says Israel should take military action if the West negotiates a nuclear deal with Iran that will be bad for Israel.Nov. 9, 2014, at 2:42 p.m.
WASHINGTON Major Democratic donor Haim Saban said on Sunday that if he were running Israel he would bomb the living daylights out of Iran if the current nuclear negotiations produce a bad deal for Israel.
Speaking at a conference of the Israeli American Council at the Washington Hilton opposite Republican casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, Saban said that if he were in the shoes of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the event of a deal with Iran that he judged to be dangerous with Israel, I would bomb the living daylights out of these sons of bitches.
Saban, a major Obama donor in 2012 and Hillary Clinton supporter in 2008, also expressed deep skepticism of Obamas policy towards Iran.
At the moment we could have increased the sanctions, we decreased them, and that was a mistake in my view, he said.
He said that he hopes Sen. Lindsey Grahams proposed bill to vote yes or no on the potential Iran deal will pass, and that We should have taken some steps to show that we, the United States, mean business. The military option, he said, needs to be a real option and not lip service.

many people would be eager to write it off against the holocaust and declare the books cleared. Israel has major credibility at stake and they're behaving like delinquents. The guy who made the demand is just a rich moron. Money doesn't make you smart.
