Israel’s Netanyahu calls Iran deal ‘historic mistake’
The Washington Post ^ | November 24, 2013 | William Booth

Posted on 11/24/2013 7:54:18 AM PST by yoe

Israeli leaders denounced (the interim Iranian nuclear pact) signed by the United States and five world powers as a “historic mistake” that does little to reverse Iran’s nuclear ambitions and instead makes the world a more dangerous place.

Israeli officials stressed that they would spend the next six months — the time frame for the interim agreement — seeking to push their friends and especially the White House to reach a deal with Iran that not only curbs Iran’s nuclear ambitions but dismantles its program.

[snip] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed Sunday that Israel was not a party to the talks that ended with a deal in Geneva early Sunday morning...

[snip] Netanyahu repeated a reference to his own red line by stating, “Israel will not allow Iran to develop a military nuclear capability.”

How many on this board actually want to see the USA posturing for or involved in another war in the Middle East, or those currently in the military or those whose kids are serving with their boots on the ground in Iran?

I sure don’t if for no other reason we can’t afford it as a nation, and also more than very weary of seeing Americans dying for other countries. I didn’t want it when Obama wanted to involve us in Syria either. We’re pxxxxng this country away and not to defend America. Screw em.

Maybe somebody can explain this Islamic quandary. The Iranians are mostly Shiites right? The Arabs are Sunnis. Al-Quead are Sunnis. The Sunnis as a ruling minority in Iraq were predominantly responsible for killing of Americans in Iraq with IEDS. The Sunnis and Arabs were the bad guys that attacked us on 9-11.

How is it then that the Shiites have become our biggest enemy when the Arabs have been our biggest problem?

Saudi Arabian and gulf oil dollars is the reason why. An oil embargo by arab nations would be catastrophic for the stock market. There would be a significant contraction of the stock market and when you can see that the top 5% of earners in the USA own more than 80% of the equity market it becomes a no brainer that the most powerful people here would try to appease the sunni muslims(GCC countries) political desires.
Granted, we are less dependent on middle eastern oil than in the past but the price of oil would skyrocket, while having an opposite effect on the stock market. With this Iran deal I am fairly confident that oil prices will likely drop.

but few know Valerie Jarret, who secretly negotiated this “deal”, is Iranian. PERSIAN.

I certainly have no love for ValJar. However, she is not an Iranian or a Persian.

It is true she was born in Iran. But her parents were Americans. Her father was a doctor, running a children's hospital.

I know. But I still feel she is a security risk, in ways that Ted Cruz, say, is not.

Unlike Barry Soetoro, Bibi will defend his country.

Bibi is a warrior statesman, elected for his skills.

He will not let his people down.

Barry will economically enable the terrorist state of Iran, and Bibi will have some very important decisions to make.

Looks like we’re on schedule for Bonny Prince Chas to stand on the mercy seat of the Ark and declare himself God in 2016.

Future historians?

How many of them do you think there’ll be?

The future definitely doesn’t belong to those that despise the son of Yehova!

A large majority of American Jews vote primarily domestic US issues, Israel being secondary for them. And on domestic US issues, Jews are heavily liberal.

Which puts the Jewish race into an interesting spot.

Here’s my read and yes it will be controversial. Jesus’ blood covers the Jews now, those who have placed their trust in the Almighty as they best understand Him for the care of their eternal lives. They are “shown mercy” because even though they jeer at the Christian Jesus, they “act out of ignorance and unbelief.” Many will even come to recognize that the Cross has saved them, before they leave this mortal coil.

So it’s more like, who believes in the God of the bible at His promise.

Since the day that Yacov wrestled with the Angel of Yehova, Yisreal has been it’s own worst enemy.
