Secretary of State John Kerry’s latest visit to Israel coincides with reports that the latest P5+1 talks with Iran could end with an “interim” agreement, providing another opportunity for Israeli officials to reiterate their opposition to such a deal, whatever it is.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took time out from talks on the stalled peace process with the Palestinians to warn Kerry against any deal with Iran, particularly one that would involve a “pause” in new sanctions against them.
Netanyahu reiterated his position that new sanctions were needed whenever Iran was enriching uranium, even though US officials have already conceded that civilian enrichment of uranium was not a problem in and of itself.
Indeed, all the problems with Iran’s civilian nuclear program begin and end with Israeli objections to it, and since Israel is objecting to any deal that doesn’t involve a total surrender by Iran, it is hard to see how the US will ever be able to sign on to a deal without dismissing Israeli concerns at some point as unreasonable.
How could we expect the regional nuclear hegemon to abandon her cowardly war-by-proxy without crippling sanctions? While we're still handing her checks? While her agents still move freely within our shores? While her schools and hospitals are still relatively free of depleted uranium, white phosphorous, and explosive residues?
“pause” in new sanctions Had to read that twice…yup, what she really wants is a torture session. It's pauses when Iran 'confesses' to Whacking Yassir Arafat, the Lavon Affair, the USS Liberty, and running Hollywood. But it only stops after they're unable to answer.
Why use the word "warn"?
Why not "Netanyahu *Threatens* the United States Not to Compromise With Tehran"??
Isn't this behavior an illegal intrusion into our foreign policy? Is the leader of that foreign country messing with the Constitution and the American people? This is unconscionable.
Talk about the tail wagging the dog. Who the hell is he to threaten the US? The US pays his bills.
Cut off ALL funds to the zionist entity. NOW.
The rogue state of Israel is the bigger threat to that region's security than Iran. Bibi sounds like a hyprocrite whining about Iran while continuing to build illegal settlements in the West Bank and running the largest open air prison on Earth known as the Gaza Strip. I agree with Nick Sarkozy's comment caught on an open microphone when he referred to Bibi as an A**hole.
God, what is wrong with Americans? Why are they not in the streets protesting their political class know-tow to a small insignificant shi**y little country on stolen land that dictates it's foreign policy? Wait, they don't know, their political, judicial, educational and media systems are in a stranglehold. I cannot wait until those dopy Americans find out, it will be ugly but it is getting way too late.
Netenyahu speaks about Iran selling a non existent nuclear weapon to terrorists or another state, yet in the world of Nuclear weapons ONLY his signature is found on the sale of nuclear weapons from one state to another.
Where did South Africa get its Nukes from?
Israel!
According to the South Africans who's signature was on the sale documents?
Netenyahu's!
