Iranium, a film that examines the international threat posed by a nuclear Iran, premiered on Feb. 8 around the country. About 380 people attended the local screening at the AMC Loews East Hanover theater that night. Danielle Flaum of Millburn, who created the student organization No Nukes for Iran, introduced the film. Bradley Gordon, director of policy and government affairs for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, spoke after the film.

The event was sponsored by No Nukes for Iran and cosponsored by Ahavat Torah-Chabad of Short Hills, American Jewish Committee of New Jersey, Chai Center of Millburn/Short Hills, Jewish Community Relations Council of the Jewish Federation of Central NJ, the Community Relations Committee of United Jewish Communities of MetroWest NJ, Congregation Agudath Israel of West Essex in Caldwell, Michelle and Bruce Berger, Assemblyman Jon Bramnick (R-Dist. 21), Congregation B’nai Israel in Millburn, Oheb Shalom Congregation in South Orange, Eagles’ Wings, the Human Rights Institute of Kean University in Union, the JCRC of UJA Federation of Northern NJ, Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy, and Stop Iran Now.

In her remarks, Flaum reminded the audience that Honeywell International, located in Morristown, continues to do business with Iran. She urged people to take some action. “Call Honeywell and voice your concern. Write a letter to David Cote, CEO and chairman of Honeywell, and tell him that his neighbors in New Jersey do not want a New Jersey company to do business in Iran,” she said.

Why is he in USA terrorizing Americans causing us to suffer in wars due to his racial hate of others? Why does he enjoy babies suffering dying starving? Why does he commit hate crimes against Americans and other nations? Is he paid a large sum of money to lie caused wars deaths of others who are innocent?

What is the top paying price AIPAC pays him his children and family? He knows what he is but he is lying to him self where victims as I that was on life support had four surgeries to live caused by him. I’M an American from a USA Naval family.

Get out of my country your racist war criminal type is no longer welcome here any more in America— go to Israel fight like a man—because your a dictator putting others at risk for your pocket book blood money account racial hate crimes against others.
