1. israeili moral failure
jerzy   (07.26.15)
if hitler were alive today, bibi would rail against him and then ask obama to take him out. Livni would say we need an international concensus totake him out so that we have internaional legitimacy, lapid would say take him out but get obama's approval first, herzog would rail against hitler but ask US to support israel, gal on would say leave him alone- he is an old man. Feiglin and bennett would kill him right away with no hesitation. So now you complain when you keep electing weaklings! Look at yourselves in the bloody mirror. This gene of consultation and submission is killing jews past present and future. and this failure of nerve goes right through the ynet and haaretz and even the post and half of likud. 2 stagte as hillary pushed the other day will never work for jews and ehud barak is totally wrong on this. Resettlment of them who sit on israeli llands back to egypt, syria, saudi, the other side of the jordan, yemen should be worked out in retrun of israel protecgting the arab world from iran who they are scared of .
2. Iran Nuclear Deal
Oscar Munoz ,   San Francisco CA   (07.26.15)
Churchill, didn't fear Germany's military power. Churchill, feared the economic and productive power of the German people...And, Israel is today in the same boat! Israel isn't afraid of war, since Israel's a warmongering nation. Israel, doesn't fear Iran's nuclear weapons! What's Israel fears, is the re-aproachachment with the West. Israel's fear the economic power Iran will become soon after the sanctions are lifted... The problem with Israel is Israel wanting to have its issues to be above the rest of the other countries...
3. 5P+1

If this is the wrong decision, then 1947 UN decision to make the Palestinians refugees & settle the land with Russians & Eastern Europians is what
4. #2 Rappprochement
(07.27.15)
Basically, it's a deal with the modern day version of the Nazis, and is so paper thin that a few well-placed tactical nukes on the facilities in question, will unravel the whole deal within hours.

Jennie ,   Israel/US   (07.27.15)
Your provocative, immature and outrageously untrue post is only discrediting your reliability... The only thing, Israelis are fearful, is the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We have won every war since 1948 and defeated enemy, who dared to raise their "sword" against our tiny sovereignty.. We are peace loving Nation, but in all of the wars and never ending terrorism against us, We have been always victorious.. Do you know another country in the world, who saves lives of their enemies, provides most of their survival needs from water, medicine and fuel to food & even weapons.... And If this is "moral failure", I don't know morality is...

As much as I try to re-read and understand your post, I just can't get it about what does Netanyahu "rails against" and why would he.? Could you explain..? But still, the predicament you have invented, has no merit or even a hint of a fact.. Hillary is the most unfit, unbalanced, dangerous and self serving stateswomen, USA has ever had... Always was and will be...Her only supporters, could possibly be found among our enemies...
7. Israel is not bound by the Iran capitulation deal
C   (07.26.15)
indeed, future us presidents are not bound by this "plan." the moral and strategic corruption of obama and his european partners will lead to much bloodshed.

(07.27.15)
Mr.Manchurian Himself, no wonder all's going to dogs (pardon me, doggies)! Every tiny nation embedded in a sea of bloodthirsty Arabs is dreaming of wars, like every 5 years- that's a given! (in your chickpea-sized brain) Problem is, that people like you (and some that are even more hopeless) get to vote in democracies! It's a bitch, but we have to live with her...
9. The agreement is pure evil. Not just a moral failing
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.27.15)
Many people know this "agreement" gives Iran 24 days to hide their nuclear bombs before "inspections". This alone makes the "agreement" a total mockery. Fewer people know that Iran has now barred Americans from inspecting their sites at all! Fewer people know this "agreement" obligates the U.S. to protect Iran's nukes from a possible attack by Israel and moderate Arab countries. This "agreement" is not simply a moral failing. It is pure evil.

11. The deal is not about Israel
Mark B. ,   Amsterdam / Holland   (07.27.15)
Sorry to say to the author, but there are really a lot of things going on in the world where Israel is not the key-issue or in fact not an issue at all. The Iran deal is about the US and the interests the US hold in the ME itself. It is about stopping ISIS, solving the wars in Syria and Yemen, preventing civil war in Gulf States and stabilizing Iraq. The biggest problem in the ME today is not the Israeli-Pal conflict or Shi'ite Iran but the Sunni Arabs. With Saudi-Arabia on the background as the world number one sponsor of jihadism.

Jennie ,   Israel/US   (07.28.15)
FYI, All of the achievements, Israel has accomplished, are and always have been compliments of the Israeli People and it's Nation...Your vicious inventions are only another example of a delusional puppet, who have never read or listened to a single true fact about how Israel benefits the neighboring Gaza Authority, as well as all of its neighbors...
13. Moral faiure
Walid ,   Spain   (07.29.15)
Everyone in the region should have anticipated the bad deal with Iran at the cost of Israel and the Arabs when Obama back stepped on the red lines he drew for Assad. They should have known that this man does not respect his own words and cannot be trusted. Obama is looking only for legacy at all cost because during his presidency so far he accomplished nothing that he or America can be proud about. Obama failed on many fronts and even Putin played him in Ukraine and Syria as well as Iran. Whether in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Libya and the list goes on and on, his yoyo policies brought instability, destruction, death and economic mayhem. The Iranian deal will come back and haunt the US as well as the Europeans who played along. I think now is the time for Arabs and Jews to take the initiative in their own hands by resolving their differences and making peace and joining hands against the evil enemies in the region which are threatening their existence. These evil enemies are Iran and its cronies as well as ISIS.
14. How do you really know these were Iranian representatives?
