The Reform Jewish movement, the liberal denomination that represents a plurality of American Jews, has declined to endorse, or oppose, the Iran deal.
In a statement, the Reform movement said:
At this time, there is no unity of opinion among the Reform Movement leadership lay and rabbinic alike just as there is not unity among our membership as to the JCPOA itself; but there is unity as to the important questions and concerns we pose in this statement. Thus, there is simply no clarity that would support taking a position for or against the JCPOA itself.
The statement recounts the arguments both for and against the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and reiterates that Iran is a threat to both the U.S. and Israel. The statement adds that it is deeply concerned about the tension, and the harsh rhetoric, in the discourse between President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu and hopes that the relationship between the two governments can be repaired.

That’s about 5% of Rabbis, all left wing apostates.
It does no good to play the game that you have to be conservative or liberal to be a proper Jew, Christian, etc. Religion and political ideology are two different things.
these are “rabbis” who have no place for Halakha, but sanctify the abomination of homosexuality, and the chillul Hashem (desecrationo fthe name of G-d, ie sinning under the rubric of Judaism) of officiating at homosexual “marriages” and mixed mariages.
Opposition to mixed marriages is unAmerican and the stuff of bigotry. I have no time for it.
Religious bigotry exists alongside racial and as the son of a father whose (Catholic) family long shunned him for marrying a Protestant, I have no time for religious bigotry. Given their small population, Jews have good reason to fret about their numbers, but that interest is well served by the goyish parent agreeing to raise the kids Jewish.
