Act for Israel says, "Stop nuclear Iran!"

A group called Act for Israel tweeted this picture today with the line "Stop Nuclear Iran!"

Act for Israel says it's states that it's "committed to representing Israel’s interests through the use of new media."

A lot of Israeli security types are on Act for Israel's "leadership" board, including Gabi Ashkenazi, the army chief of staff during Cast Lead onslaught. Also many Americans. From Sharone Levinson's bio:

Sharone is a proud American citizen... For the past few years, Sharone has been dismayed by the efficient and organized use of the Internet to spread misinformation and lies about Israel.

From Act for Israel's website:

Act For Israel is the leading digital platform for pro-Israel activism. We rely on the latest Internet-based technology to win the war on ideas. We believe that Israel has the right to live in peace and security, and that all people deserve the right to live in dignity. Our goal is to share this centrist position with a wide audience to correct misinformation, end demonization, stop delegitimization, and to give Israel a well-needed voice.Our goal is to share our centrist position with a wide audience to correct misinformation, end demonization, stop delegitimization, and to give Israel a well-needed voice.

Also there's this guy on the leadership of Act for Israel, Dan Goldman. Dan looks halfway reasonable. Does he want to nuke Iran?

Dan Goldman has over 20 years of experience in the technology industry building compelling consumer sites, services and products. He is currently the co-founder and CEO of WorldLive Mobile, a startup building cutting-edge mobile applications for fans and brands. Dan has served as CTO at Zedge – the leading mobile social network – that has grown to over 18 million registered users – and earlier for several major Internet brands including iVillage and drspock.com, where he built and launched multiple online properties.
