AWESOME! - Chris Hayes Brilliantly Explains Lobby's Effort to SABOTAGE Iran Deal [View all]

Must watch! ..........

For years I have been writing here in the Huffington Post and elsewhere that almost no one in the mainstream media has the nerve to explain the nexus between U.S. policy decisions relating to the Middle East and the power of the Israel lobby. And, when it comes to television, not "almost no one" but no one at all.

But then last night Chris Hayes described why 16 Democratic senators are trying to undo President Obama's most significant foreign policy achievement -- the nuclear agreement with Iran -- by imposing new sanctions on Iran to torpedo the deal. And he explained that it's all about AIPAC and its power.

I am not going to write anymore because nothing I can write is as eloquent as Hayes was.

What a great moment. Hayes is only 34. Maybe it's a new day.
