[h=1]Iran to build a statue of the captured US sailors who strayed into its territorial waters as a TOURIST ATTRACTION[/h]

• Revolutionary Guard to build the statue of the sailors it captured in January
• Monument will recreate the moment Iranians captured the 10 US sailors
• Expected Republicans will use move to criticise President Barack Obama
• Republicans, including Donald Trump, have lambasted Obama's Iran policy

Iran is to build a statue of the US sailors it captured in its territorial waters earlier this year as a tourist attraction, a senior Revolutionary Guard officer has said.
The news is likely to cause outrage in the US and play into the hands of Republicans who opposed President Obama's nuclear agreement with Iran and lifting of US sanctions in January.
Commander Ali Fadavi, the head of the Guard's naval forces, said the monument would capture the moment the Americans surrendered to Iranian forces.

The 10 American sailors (pictured) were accused of 'snooping' and surrendered to Iranian troops in January. They were released 16 hours later after being questioned

'There are very many photographs of the major incident of arresting US Marines in the Persian Gulf in the media and we intend to build a symbol out of them inside one of our naval monuments,' he told Iran's Defense Press news agency.
It is expected the statue will built on Kharg, a small Iranian island in the Persian Gulf close to where the servicemen were captured, the Telegraph reported.
The planned monument could feature on the Rahian-e-Nour, a pro-regime pilgrimage, which promotes the country's military and takes in historical points from the Iran-Iraq war.

The 10 American sailors were accused of 'snooping' on Iran and surrendered to the revolutionary guard on January 12 before being taken into custody and then released 16 hours hours later.
One of the two small patrol boats reportedly suffered mechanical issues and drifted into Iranian waters and the sailors and boats were seized.
The detainees spent the night at an Iranian base on Farsi Island in the Persian Gulf and were transferred to a US ship in the region.
Leading General Ali Fadavi said the American boats showed 'unprofessional acts' for 40 minutes before being picked up by Iranian forces in the country's territorial waters.

The sailors were given food and water by their captors and a sailor said they had been treated well on video

He said at the time: 'US naval force and their frigate showed an unprofessional behavior and had air and naval moves for 40 minutes in the area.
'Certainly US presence in Persian Gulf and their passage has never been innocent and we do not deem their passage as innocent.'
At the time Republicans, including presidential hopeful Donald Trump, lambasted President Obama over his policy towards Iran and are likely to be equally outraged at the Revolutionary Guard's latest plans.
Mr Trump had aid: 'Those young people were on their hands and knees in a begging position with their hands up and thugs behind them with guns, and then we talk like it's OK. It's not OK. It's lack of respect.'
The United States lifted most of its sanctions against Iran after a UN watchdog reported that Tehran had complied with a nuclear weapons deal in January - a move that was criticised by Republicans.
Iran was under strict international sanctions since October 2007, although the Untied States had some form of economic restrictions on Tehran since 1979.
However, a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency said Tehran had fulfilled its commitments under a nuclear deal to prevent weapons development at the beginning of this year.

It is impossible to determine how those sailors ended upon their knees.

Demand Who gave the US Navy the stand down order in a situation of weapons dominance on the US side.



There is a cloak of silence about the whole affair.

Israel policy and AIPAC are always heated topics among U.S. Jews but Donald Trump’s fiery speech to the powerful AIPAC lobby Monday elicited intense debate outside the downtown area, inside the hall and on social media. People were contesting not only the meaning of Trump’s words but also that of the huge roars and standing ovations he got from many in the massive audience.
Slams on Iran, President Obama and Hillary Clinton triggered applause. But not only that. Hundreds of rabbis and others stood in separate groups once Trump took the podium and simply walked out in protest, activists said. Many went directly to locations at the Verizon Center to pray and study Torah.
A D.C. Orthodox rabbi in a prayer shawl who was seated six rows from the front was carried off by security moments after he shouted out once Trump began speaking.
Rabbi Shmuel Herzfeld, leader of a prominent D.C. Modern Orthodox synagogue, told the Post that he immediately stood, put on a tallis — or prayer shawl — and shouted: “Do not listen to this man. He is wicked. He inspires racists and bigots.” Herzfeld did not resist security’s efforts to remove him, he said.
“With every cell in my body I felt the obligation as a rabbi to declare his wickedness to the world,” Herzfeld put on Facebook minutes after he was carried out, setting off dozens of comments from across the spectrum.
“How can you call him wicked? Using that standard, you should call Obama wicked for signing the Iran deal,” wrote one commenter. “Shame,” wrote another. “Thank you for your courage and moral clarity,” was yet another.
On social media Jews — including advocates and members of the Jewish media — seemed taken aback at the roars of support from many at AIPAC. Ben Silverstein, a digital writer for the left-leaning pro-Israel group J Street wrote:
Some suggested the crowd was a poor indication of U.S. Jewish voters, who lean heavily democratic:

Trump has elicited strong reaction from many U.S. Jews, who are divided about how to respond to a candidate who has set off so much concern about racism and xenophobia — causes Jewish leaders say are of particular alarm to their communities.
Among the hundreds who waited to get into the Verizon Center before the talk were Debbie Kurinsky and Jacquelyn Furman, who came from Needham, Mass. They had no problem with the organization’s decision to invite Trump to speak.
“I don’t understand it. I think it’s not respectful of what the organization is trying to achieve,” Kurinsky said of people who planned to walk out.
Furman said attendees should listen to Trump regardless of their own politics.
“I personally think he’s a bigot. I’m not planning to endorse him. I plan to welcome him civilly.”
Milling around with those waiting to get in and a few protesters was a man selling $15 yarmulkes with the candidates’ names on them.
Among those who walked out was rabbinic student Rena Singer. Before the event, waiting in line, said she and her classmates at Hebrew Union College in New York had discussed how to handle the AIPAC talk. Some wanted to listen, saying that AIPAC had as much of a duty to invite Trump as any other candidate, or that the Jewish community needs to be able to work with any politician.
Singer said that at first she was unsure. “But then I thought about the reason I decided I wanted to be a Reform rabbi in the first place,” she said. “It’s a movement that has historically stood up to hatred and injustice.”
So as she waited in a long line to enter the Verizon Center, she didn’t plan to stay inside long. “I look forward to walking out.”
Waiting just behind Singer, David Rubin, 18, of Woodbine, N.Y., said he planned to stay for the speech. “Whether I agree with him or not, he is running for president.”
Jews are hardly the only faith group interested in Israel. As involved — and much larger — is the U.S. evangelical community, which has traditionally been more hard-line, but seems to have a growing, if small, even-handed camp. Among those assessing Trump Monday was David Brody, who covers the the White House for the Christian Broadcasting Network.

ANOTHER MOMENTOUS GUESSER FAIL.

Trump woos Israeli-Americans by sticking to script with a teleprompter, telling how he was Israeli parade's grand marshal and promising not to 'pander' (then mentions his Jewish grandchildren)

• Donald Trump spoke to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee this evening after a day-long tour of Washington, D.C.
• Trump threw out red meat to the crowd hitting Iran, the Palestinians and President Obama and Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton
• The Donald used a teleprompter - which is unusual for the generally off-the-cuff speaker - though inserted the speech with many trademark lines

Donald Trump's speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee was billed as an opportunity for the Republican frontrunner to begin to impress on foreign policy.
But while a teleprompter stood onstage with The Donald, the speech was less wonkish showmanship and more classic Trump.
In the early moments, Trump promised not to 'pander' before recalling the time he served as grand marshal in a pro-Israel parade.
He brought up his Jewish grandkids too.

Despite warnings beforehand that there might be an organized protest, Donald Trump was greeted by a mostly friendly crowd who ate up his skewering of the Iran deal and President Obama

The usually off-the-cuff politician tonight used a teleprompter though still said many of his trademark lines like bragging about poll numbers and talking about 'deals'

Trump happily recalled the honor of being made the grand marhsal of New York City's Israel parade in 2004.
'It was a very dangerous time for Israel and for, frankly, anyone supporting Israel,' The Donald said. 'I took the risk and I'm glad I did.'
He also mentioned daughter Ivanka's almost-born baby, expected to come any time now.
'My daughter Ivanka is about to have a beautiful Jewish baby,' Trump told the crowd, earlier having told reporters that he consulted his son-in-law Jared Kushner when writing his speech.
Trump tossed out all sorts of red meat to the predominantly friendly crowd.
'I speak to you today as a lifelong supporter and true friend of Israel,' Trump said. 'I am new to politics, but not to backing the Jewish state.'
While there were some reports of rabbis threatening to walk out during the Republican frontrunner's speech, he was greeted by a standing ovation when he discussed his first policy point - ridding the world of President Obama's controversial Iran deal.
'It's a bad deal,' Trump stated.

Tonight's speech to AIPAC was supposed to show a Donald Trump who had a better handle of foreign policy, instead he tickled the audience by talking about his Jewish grandkids and his best-selling book


.

'And we are leading in every poll, remember that please,' he added in a quick aside, touting his presidential run.
The billionaire candidate also reminded the crowd, which filled Washington, D.C.'s Verizon Center, usually the home of the NHL hockey team the Washington Capitals, that he had authored 'The Art of the Deal,' so he realized just how bad any peace deal would be that would promote Palestinian bad behavior.
'You don't reward behavior like that, you cannot do it,' Trump said, recalling the tragic murder of 28-year-old American Taylor Force, who was brutally stabbed by a Palestinian terrorist earlier this month during a trip to Israel.
While Ted Cruz immediately mocked Trump and the billionaire's grasp of foreign policy and proper terminology when he sauntered onto the AIPAC stage - 'Palestine has not existed since 1948,' Cruz said - Trump was more concerned about ribbing the Democrats.
At first he cut into President Obama.
'He may be the worst thing to ever happen to Israel believe me,' Trump said.
He vowed to no longer treat Israel as a 'second class citizen' before bringing in his likely general election rival, Democrat Hillary Clinton.
'She and Obama have treated Israel very, very badly,' Trump said.
