Most Israeli lobbying groups have criticized the P5+1 deal with Iran, but indicate that they will give the deal some time before they start pushing for new sanctions to sabotage it. Then there’s AIPAC.
No waiting was needed for the biggest lobby, which issued a policy memo demanding immediate additional sanctions on Iran from Congress, saying they need to make it clear Iran will face even more consequences if they back out of the deal.
Iran has already made it clear that the deal, which includes some sanction relief, would be null and void in Congress imposes new sanctions. Congress isn’t expected to try to do so until after the Thanksgiving recess, and even then President Obama will likely veto any such sanctions.
Israel’s government is said to have more or less given up on sabotaging the interim deal, and is instead focusing on the final deal yet to be negotiated. AIPAC doesn’t seem to have given up yet, however, though it remains to be seen if their considerable influence will be enough to kill a deal which polls show is broadly supported by Americans.
It's time for sanctions and an embargo against israel- the true enemy of civilization and of life on this planet.

Aren't sanctions and an embargo an act of war? You're warlike and bellicose rhetoric should not be welcomed on an antiwar site.
Are you advocating censorship?
People do express how welcome or unwelcome opinions are. The thumbs up/down scores speak for themselves.
I'm not arguing for censorship. I'm just saying that your comment was contrary to what someone who is antiwar is supposed to believe.
That's the issue right there. Making suppositions about what people believe.
Funny thing, its all in the open to see who is pushing for war but not a word from the usual suspects. How can a group of people representing a foreign country have s ouch influence over the US?
