As we learn more about the Iran deal — the side agreements, the lifting of the arms and missile embargoes, the loophole-ridden inspections regime — the more apparent it is that only people so enamored of their own work, so gullible to embrace the Iranians’ soothing words and so desperate for glory could have negotiated this deal. Rather than acknowledge the criticisms on the merits, the administration sinks lower and lower, casting aspersions on critics. When Secretary of State John Kerry announces that the world will blame Israel if the deal fails, we have left the realm of dignified debate. When he warns Israel not to act militarily in its own defense, he suggests that the United States won’t back up the Jewish state. (“That’d be an enormous mistake, a huge mistake with grave consequences for Israel and for the region, and I don’t think it’s necessary.”)
In addition, as the conservative Free Beacon reported at the end of last week, Kerry now insinuates that the deal will fail not because it is a rotten one but because Israel manipulated lawmakers:
“I fear that what could happen is if Congress were to overturn it, our friends Israel could actually wind up being more isolated and more blamed,” Kerry said.
Michael Oren, the former U.S. ambassador to Israel who recently released a memoir, quickly condemned Kerry’s remarks in a statement. . . . “If American legislators reject the nuclear deal, they will do so exclusively on the basis of U.S. interests,” Oren said in the statement. “The threat of the Secretary of State who, in the past, warned that Israel was in danger of becoming an apartheid state, cannot deter us from fulfilling our national duty to oppose this dangerous deal.”

The thing about the Iran deal is it’s yet again, another blatant hardocore act of treason and once again we are given BS excuses for it because of course “The One” can do no wrong. People are protesting over this deal, why? Why are they wasting their time? They know it will go forth because this Congress allows the traitor in charge to do whatever the hell he wants. Instead the people should be DEMANDING he be removed from office! How about half a million people descend upon Washington and DEMAND he be removed? Do not leave until he is! How many more tons of evidence do people require that incredibly as it sounds, we have an ENEMY OF THE UNITED STATES in the nations highest office?

When it fails, someone has to be blamed.
Yeah, that’s the ticket,
All that is bad is Israel’s fault.
Not the American cockroaches obammy and kerry.
1/2 million citizens in the streets of DC will be no more significant to the elitist rulers than the 2 million who marched against Obamacare and were summarily ignored and accused of racism.
It will take more than marching in the streets to shut down this criminal cabal.
The Joooooooos made them do “it” (a bad deal), and that’s the usual Dems modi operandi.
Kerry’s not new at this- he helped slaughter millions in SE Asia, and now he’s gonna get to get his hands bloody slaughtering millions in the Middle East.
“...more isolated and more blamed.”
Once a country (or a person) is isolated and blamed for everything does it matter if they are more isolated and more blamed? Is it possible?
Of course you blame the sheep for the wolf eating it.
Obviously, Israel can’t count on the US to protect them anymore. They are truly between a rock and a hard place. If they want to survive, they’re going to have to take out Iran’s nuclear industry themselves. They could certainly defend themselves militarily, for a while, from the inevitable Arab backlash. But the resulting economic sanctions from Europe and the US will so weaken them that they may fall anyway. It would be carnage. If Israel indeed has nuclear weapons, they will use them.
