New York - 44 Nobel Prize winners,
at least 70% of them blessed with Jewish background, wrote an open letter to
US President Obama and the leaders of France (Sarkozy), Russia (Medwedew), Germany (Merkel) and the United Kingdom (Brown) on Sunday - on behalf of the
Zionist Elie Wiesel (photo) Foundation - which was published in The New York
Times. The letter urges the 5 leaders to implement harsher sanctions against Iran and to take steps to stop Iran's nuclear
work.
In
August 1939, the Jewish physicists Leo Szilard, Eugene Wigner and Albert
Einstein (equally fervent Zionist) wrote a similar letter to US President Roosevelt,
warning him against the German menace and
resulting in the atomic bombing of Japan during WWII.
