Speaking today on NBC’s Today Show, Secretary of State John Kerry warned Israel against following through with suggestions they might try to sabotage the Iran nuclear deal with the P5+1 by unilaterally attacking Iran, saying it would be an “enormous mistake.”
Kerry said he thinks attacking Iran isn’t necessary and that doing so would be “a huge mistake with grave consequences for the region,” which would give Iran a reason to begin actively trying to create nuclear weapons, to defend against nuclear-armed Israel.
Kerry also mocked Israeli calls for Iran to have no civilian nuclear program at all, saying Iran’s nuclear material is “not something that you can flush down the toilet,” he further warned that Israel’s lobbying against the Iran deal in the US Congress risked them getting blamed if the deal is blocked by Congress.
Former Israeli Ambassador to the US Michael Oren, now an MP in Israel’s ruling coalition, spurned Kerry’s comments, saying Israel wouldn’t be “threatened” into backing off on its position on the deal. Oren went on to say Israel had a “national duty” to oppose the Iran pact, and do anything it can to prevent it from being finalized.
How serious Israeli threats to attack Iran outright are is unclear, of course. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted, on the day the deal was announced, that he didn’t feel Israel was “bound” by the pact, and it wouldn’t stop them taking any action, including military action. At the same time, Israel has been threatening to attack Iran for decades now, and has never actually done so, so this may just be the usual bluster.
Israel is a deranged wild dog you cannot warn them or control them, they belong in the pound.
You're not far off the mark, but Israel is not a deranged dog- but it is a pet dog. It's America's pet, that is turning around on its leash and biting its master. Any other country would take the damn thing to the vet and have it's manhood removed. But America? No, it keeps letting the dog jump up on the neighbors and piss on the carpet.
But America is getting a little tired. Maybe they'll finally put the thing in a bag with rocks in it and throw it off a bridge like they should have done years ago.
This beast is a two headed demon.
But thumbs up to you.
I bet Israel will attack Iran but not the heavy lifting, for that they need the next president! I bet they will support terrorist (like they did Jundallah) against Iran and sabotage the Iranian nuclear program as they have been doing. Israel isn't shy when it comes to war and attacking other countries. They wouldn't be interfering in American politics if they did not want the US to be the one to go to war in their stead.
Poor Kerry, being attacked by all these deranged losers.
And who will that Designated Hitter be? If you go to CNN right now, you will see the bunker faces of the Cheney administration during 9/11 – while everyone else in the country is in deep shock, they are carrying on bravely without breaking a sweat. The release can only mean one thing: "Don't change horses midstream in the Crusade – elect another Bush and it will all work out, no matter what."
Messages are everything.
Israel should be told by the President so there is NO misunderstanding the gravity of the situation the US will not help Israel if they attack Iran in relationship to this matter either militarily or in the UN! He should also name AIPAC and other similar organisation as foreign lobbyists! Effectively take their money out of the equation!
These Iran negotiations have been mainly a diversion from attention on Israel's own vast nuclear arsenal. The "Deal" is indeed of U.S. siding with Iran and its allies Russia, China, Syria, against Israel and Saudi Arabia.
What does Israel have on the USA?
How can they continue to insult, threaten and blackmail us without a clear cut, devastating response from our Government?
Remember the USS Liberty?
We keep caving in to this depraved, hysterical, war mongering group of land grabbing terrorists. And the international community blames us for protecting and aiding this bunch of genocidal miscreants.
When will this ever stop?
For many to change opining on Americans, First America must dedicate it's self to world peace and the first move we would like to see is for democracy to be implemented in the Middle East.
Israels creation in the middle east is not evidence of middle eastern democracy.
It is evidenced of Global Autocracy.
Having a nation situated in the Middle East that it's very survival depends on oppression, segregation, apartheid, second class citizens, spying, culling it's neighbors, assassinating it's rivals scientist, The evils go on and on and this cannot be tolerated if it's peace we are searching for.
USA and others in the P5+1 should declare protection for Iran if any one attacks it in the name of the nuclear deal.It is an imperative
In both Israel and Empire USA, the corporate rich supply over 90 of the political donations, causing our politicians to speak 90% fiction, fantasy and fairytales.
This Republican must have a real sweet deal from the Israeli lobby to prostitute himself like this. For those poorly informed. The Sanctions prevent nothing they just drag Iran's economy 20%, there is no specially imported secret sauce to make a nuke. all the materials and expertise are within Iran's boarders. This is a monumental deal and Iran gave away allot much more then most people expected.
So what is Benny's hawkish hysteria about.? Benny wants the sanctions kept, this is because of a Gas Pipeline play between Turkey and Israel. Iran is the better supplier, but not with sanctions. Also it's about Benny's political aspirations since he is in bed with the Ultra right to form a government. A few rich people will get much richer, what every right wing government does.
It's an old political trick to fill everyone with fear and then present a strong man to take that fear away. It's an old trick of Israel's to have pre-emptive war, where when the real story is told it was just outright aggression, shrouded by so called security worries. That sort of propaganda used to work but after Bush, everyone is smarter and looks for the truth behind the flimsy stories that frankly don't add. It's clear there are motives that have nothing to do with Israel's security now and the future. There is the truth and there is what the government tells you. The arrogance of the right is that they feel the common man is a fool.
Keep in mind Benny killed the Camp David Peace Accord, something I personnel have never forgiven him for. He threw away lasting peace for Israel. Instead he gave Israel the apartheid and Gaze weirdly similar to the Warsaw Ghetto. And with founded War Crime accusations, he has ruined Israel's reputation. Benny has no credibility. Any other country would be facing sanctions by now.
As for US republicans and other politicians who appear to be confused as to which government they work for, they need to find other work. Voters need to take note of those for sale to other nations and send them packing. Some would call these barkers treasonous.
Only a fool would ignore the facts and gorge on propaganda, it is the worst I'm every seen. And it's not supported by the facts. Shame on Israel and shame on the Republicans.
