I do not believe that most of my fellow 'talkbackers' realise the extent to which Obama/Kerry will go to forge this abysmal rapprochement with Iran.As with his other pet project of 'Obamacare' with its many good aspects has fallen flat but as with Geneva, Obama will not permit genuine concerns to stop this roller coaster of an agreement, which anyone with half a brain cell knows that it is manifestly wrong. It does not prevent any of Iran's ambitions of attaining a nuclear weapon nor stop its universal sponsoring of terror, the latter in itself should stop any agreement. Whatever the outcome the result will be when the American public realise the extent of their capitulation to the evil of Islamic dogma, there will be grounds for the impeachment of this dreadful incompetent President, only Carter came close. If a document is signed with Iran under the current circumstances it will live in infamy as prominent as the Chamberlain " Peace in our time" scrap of paper. I hope that I am wrong.
62. to no. 56- Leftist Fantasyland
Jeff ,   Astoria,OR. USA   (11.09.13)
If it makes you happy continue with your pro- Islamic leftist fantasy that Obama is some specially gifted genius and the that George Bush was a bumbling moron. The reality is quite different. Bush perfectly understood the threat posed by radical Islam and Iran not just to Israel but to the US and west in general. Obama behaves like a naive clueless leftist college professor and has weakened this country internationally as never before. The Iranians are conducting a proxy war against Israel on two fronts through Hamas and Hezbollah ,militarily support the Assad regime, and openly call for the destruction of Israel. If you believe that their acquisition of nuclear weapons would not be a threat to Israel should immediately depart to the Disneyland closest to Amsterdam
63. If you think Obama was bad
Abu Zibby ,   Haifa, IL   (11.09.13)
you'll dearly miss him when Hillary and Biden take office in 2016. This is going to go from bad to worse.

There is a difference between hard equitable diplomacy and abject capitulation. As to you affirming that Israeli hawks admit that after and if it destroys as much of the Iranian nuclear capability, that there will be a "global economic ice age", I do not who you refer to but it certainly is not the hawks but you may confusing them with Ha'aretz. Appeasement and delusion are not good bed fellows when dealing with a 30 year religious dictatorship that has no regard for the norms of Democracy and still has at its core the supremacy of the evil theocracy that it maintains through torture and fear.
65. #50 Ismail
Lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (11.09.13)
Ismail. oh were it that simple. Within close families brother turns against brother. However is it not the situation that amongst the Arab world, I suggest that you are in a minority in your statement, your view and tolerance is not even within the schools in the Arab/Muslim ME, indoctrinating the children with hatred of a people that almost none of them have met. That is not say that in Israel there are not those who also have great antipathy toward Arabs but it certainly is not part of the Israel education system to blanket spread lies and intolerance toward any other people, please pick up any book. However with the reference to Muslims, I do take issue as within the catechism if a true Muslim adheres to it, there never will be a peaceful connection to other people, never mind Jews; over 60 Shuras expressly forbid any relationship ,except as others be subservient at best and to be destroyed at worst.
66. #53' Aid to Israel aids Americans First
Ari ,   New Orleans, LA   (11.09.13)
Israel gives the US intelligence, research and development of their weapons like the Arrow missiles and the Drone that was invented by an Israeli who graduated form the Technion, an Israeli university. Israel does get 3 billion every year with the preconditions that it can spent the money only on American products and weapons ; So Israel is supporting the weapons Industry in the US and in return Israel gives the ideas and know how to build those advance weapons that US sell then to the world and the Arab world. Great deal better for US than for Israel. But Israel needs to say Thanks every time. Where is the Americans thanks ?.
67. The French, not US, defending israel
Adi ,   NY, NY   (11.09.13)
In the negotiations for the nuclear appeasement of Iran. Kerry willing to sign the horrible deal but not he French. US supposedly friends of Israel and Jews, stabbed Israel in the back. So Sad, Sad, Sad, Sad.
68. Obama vs Israel
Benny Medlen ,   Huntsville ala USA   (11.09.13)
Obama has no idea what he is doing, God put him in this position to further fill His word. Obama stands for everything that God hates.. God is In charge and He will protect Israel His chosen people.............
69. morally degenerate president
Larry ,   LA   (11.09.13)
unfortunately for those who wanted a liberal president and instead got one with degenerate morals, we must suffer his giving in all of America's power and prestige away to enhance his own self inflicted image of American liberalism. Perhaps liberals someday will be able to hold their heads up but he is a sad day for those who believe in liberal values yet security for their friends.
70. Still support Israel
torotx ,   Ft Worth, Tx   (11.09.13)
Even though American Jewry voted heavily for Obama we true conservatives wont hold it against Israel. Genesis 12:3 --we still believe the Almighty One.
71. Obama
Etienne Prinsloo ,   Nova Scotia Canada   (11.10.13)
And so the Shi'ite president of the United States delivers Israel to his Iranian brethren on a platter. In 1938 the Jews did not know what was coming, this time they do.
72. Winston Churchill said:
ORA ,   JERUSALEM.   (11.10.13)
An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile ,hoping he will eat him last.
73. #56 Poor little paranoid Amsterdam
A ,   Belgium   (11.10.13)
African and East European whores infected with diseases, moslems taking over the city. Your history was finished when the nazis made you their slaves, nothing to be proud of, makker, and therefore, no right to critisize a country that is only trying to defend itself.
74.  Get it done and let them howl..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (11.09.13)
Solidarity makes us strong.
75. It's a question of which policy will do the job
Shachar ,   Eilat   (11.10.13)
It's not 1939, no shame or dishonesty or any of the other irrelevant titles Shoula has showered on Obama. There is a disagreement about which is the better policy, diplomacy versus military action. That's all, no good guys and bad guys or any of the emotional crap. I personally believe only a military strike will stop Iran but I don't despise those who believe in diplomacy...
76. deat tortext#70 so right god bless you
miriam   (11.10.13)
I hope American jews got their lesson. thanks to American conservatives and their like we are who we are god bless America and Israel. miriam
77. From ignoring the green revolution in Iran, to siding with
Sunday ,   Israel   (11.10.13)
the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, to inaction on Syria, an Iranian mole's foreign policy wouldn't be any different.
78. Wrong assumptions
Ali Hussain ,   Kut, Iraq   (11.10.13)
All hear from Westren leaders is the following : - Oran has new leadership : wrong the the constitution and political,reality is different , Khamanei is the undisputed leader since 1989 , Rohani is nothing but an elevated PM . - Iran will give up the nuclear capability by diplomacy : wrong , it has not been done over the last four president , it wonot happen now with everyone feeling the west is weaker and run by bunch of liberals . - Iran can to the negotiating table Beacuse a new government is in , and the reckless Nejad is out , wrong , Oran came to the table Beacuse it is pressured economically and the war in Syria Conclusion : Iran will blink again under the following four concurrent steps : - Continue economic sanctions - Support the Syrian rebels and the Christians and Sunnis in Lebanon to bleed Iran - Continue to isolate them diplomatically and pick up their experts abroad and internally . - Support Iraq to expand oil exports at the expense of Iran to sow differences and. Reduce. Price of oil .
79. The voice of reason. May the West get some leaders who
Dana, Israel   (11.10.13)
