7. I'm guessing that's Schumer's reason as well...

.. and perhaps that a sizable part of Schumer's constituency is Jewish as well. But being Jewish hasn't stopped Bernie Sanders to state he supports it, even as an independent. And for Wyden, this state is has perhaps the least amount of any large religious groups in the country, so I don't think it is his constituency pushing him on this issue like perhaps Schumer is facing.

Even Israel's security leadership is breaking with Netanyahu about whether to be against this deal. Read more here:

And that title is "crack's widen"... not "crack's wyden"...

So, I'd like to give many Israelis and the Jewish community credit for seeing that this is the best option for a good pragmatic deal for the safety in the region, even if it is with a nation they don't trust.
