The latest revelation comes from an IAEA
secret side deal allowing Iran to self-police one
of its key nuclear weapon development sites.
Are they joking? Absolutely unbelievable.
What rational person thinks that will work?
The Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit has it exactly right: The consequenc-
es of the deal are "potentially devastating" for
Israel and the U.S. We cannot — must not —
stand idly by.

Given the unthinkable consequences of a
nuclear Iran or an Iran flush with cash and
able to bankroll more terrorism around the
world, ifs no wonder a growing number of
organizations and politicians are putting
old divisions and partisanship aside for the
greater good of our country and the world.
Sen. Chuck Shumer of New York, in line
as next Democratic Senate leader, is the most
visible of the deal's opponents, notwithstand-
ing intense pressure from the administration
and racist smears.
But he is not alone. Several other
Democratic members of Congress have
gone on record rejecting the deal, including
members of the Black Caucus, Jewish and
Hispanic representatives.
Jewish organizations — including the
American Jewish Committee, American
Jewish Congress, AIPAC, ZOA and the Simon
Wiesenthal Center — are but a few against
the deal.
Kudos to our Detroit Federation for its
leadership in opposing this bad deal. Several
other federations have clarified the deal's
dangers. One of the most succinct statements
came from the Jewish Community Relations
Council of Greater Washington, which is
especially bold considering its closeness to
Congress and the White House:
This deal has significant flaws. It does not
permit essential "anytime, anywhere" short
notice inspections of Iranian facilities and
does not clearly condition sanctions relief
on full Iranian cooperation in satisfying
International Atomic Energy Agency con-
cerns over the possible military dimensions
of Iran's program
The deal lifts sanctions as soon as the
agreement commences, lifts key restrictions
within eight years, disconnects and stores
centrifuges in an easily reversible manner
and requires no dismantlement of centri-
fuges or any nuclear facility. And after 15
years, when virtually all restrictions on Iran's
nuclear program are gone, Iran will be legally
able to acquire a nuclear weapons capability
with a breakout time measured in days.

Correction
• In "Classrooms Gone" (Aug. 20, page 22),
the Audrey and William Farber Family IDEA
Collaborative Grant to Hillel Day School in
Farmington Hills is up to $6.6 million. The
gift last year was $5.3 million; they gave
an additional $1.3 million for the second-
floor renovation. The William Davidson
Foundation gift to Hillel is $15 million; they
have given $8.5 million to date. This alloca-
tion will continue to rise each year until the
school reaches $15 million in 2018, with
Hillel being responsible for $2.5 million of
the $15 million.

Quick Click ... From the William Davidson
Digital Archive of Jewish Detroit History
Mike Smith
Detroit Jewish News
Foundation Archivist
esterday, I spent
a delightful
morning with
Sue Marx, the documen-
tary filmmaker from
Detroit. Indeed, I should
say "famous" documentary
filmmaker from Detroit. Marx has won
more awards than can be named in a
short Click like this.
To mention the tip of the recogni-
tion iceberg, however, she has won
numerous local Emmys, was cited as
"Michigan Filmmaker of the Year"
at the Traverse City Film Festival in
2011 and, in 1987, along with partner,
Pamela Conn, won an Oscar for her
film Young at Heart.
Indeed, as Michael Moore, founder
of the Traverse City Film
Festival said, "Sue Marx
is an inspiration to film-
makers in the state ... she
is considered a pioneer in
the film community."
I then wondered —
when did Marx receive her
first award? Well, the first
mention of such a thing
in the William Davidson
Digital Archive is an item in the Sept.
3, 1965, issue of the JN. Sue Marx
is cited as winning the huge sum of
$50 for her entry in the Newspaper
National Snapshot Awards Contest.
What a journey from there to an Oscar!
Here's a shot of Sue behind the camera
from the IN in 1987.
