Summary of Article: Yesterday, U.S. lawmakers passed a law opposing Iran's nuclear ambitions and pledging to support Israel should Israel have to strike Iran militarily for self-defense reasons. This vote sends a strong message because the Senate passed it unanimously, with all politicians agreeing. It also shows U.S. loyalty to Israel.

Discussion with Kids:
  • What does it mean that Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons? Why is this dangerous? (Talk about crazy man Ahmadinejad).
  • Why does Israel feel threatened? What does Israel perhaps want to do to protect herself from Iran's nuclear ambitions? (Talk about how Israel destroyed Iraq's nuclear reactor successfully).
  • Why is it important to Israel to know that it has U.S. support?
  • What would you do about Iran if you were Israel?
