Iran deal poses conflict of loyalties for US Jews, say Economist and Haaretz
"The Iran deal is an important moment in Jewish history because the Jewish state has made clear that it wants American Jews to support it and oppose the deal, but American Jews aren’t buying.

The polarization has pitted urban interests against rural areas and suburbs, denying Republicans a power base."
