LBJ Nuclear “Daisy” Ad Recreated by Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) & Iranian Americans for Liberty

Iranians, Muslims & Jews Come Together Up to Say “NO” to Iran Nuclear Deal 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
April 8, 2021
 
NEW YORK – The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), America’s oldest pro-Israel organization, has joined with Iranian Americans for Liberty to recreate President Lyndon B. Johnson’s iconic Nuclear “Daisy” ad – to warn of the imminent nuclear threat posed by the violent dictators of the Iranian regime.
“Peace is blossoming in the Middle East,” said Lisa Daftari, a journalist and foreign policy expert of Iranian descent, featured in the 2021 “Daisy” video available at www.NoNuclearHolocaust.com. “With the Abraham Accords and other agreements, the indigenous people of the Middle East are coming together in peace – united against the enemy of peace – the violent dictators of Iran.”
 
The video is being released on Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah).

Iranian citizens, whose voices are altered to protect their identity, are featured in the video:
 
“We want peace. But the Islamic Republic is against peace.”

“We support the peace deals between Israel and the Arab nations.
I hope that one day the entire Middle East can live in peace alongside one another”
Iranian Citizen #2, featured in 2021 Nuclear “Daisy” video
 
The ancient “enemy of my enemy is my friend” proverb has come alive today in the Middle East, with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan and Israel putting age-old differences aside to come together in peace – and to oppose the enemy of peace: the mullahs of Iran. In America, the threat of a nuclear Iran has brought America’s oldest pro-Israel group the ZOA together with Iranian Americans for Liberty to recreate LBJ’s “Daisy” ad as a vivid warning about the nuclear threats we face today.
 
“Peace in the Middle East is finally happening,” said Daftari. “Unfortunately, some policymakers in America and Europe want to go back to what failed to work in the past: the Iran nuclear deal. The indigenous people of the Middle East say YES to peace and NO to the Iran nuclear deal.”

About the ZOA
Founded in 1897, ZOA played a key role in the Jewish State's re-establishment. Today, ZOA is the leading major American Jewish organization courageously defending Israel and the Jewish people; fighting against all forms of antisemitism, including anti-Jewish boycotts; and promoting the Jewish people's lawful right to live in and settle historic Jewish lands. ZOA exposes that a Palestinian state would endanger Israel's existence; presents the facts about the Arab/Islamic war against Israel; and combats the anti-Israel lie that Israel is an "occupier" of her own land. ZOA spearheaded long battles to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, and apply civil rights protections to Jewish students. ZOA provides free legal assistance and programs to pro-Israel students at numerous college campuses. ZOA's bold, unapologetic voice has a significant impact on public discourse and policy.
