More Israeli Experts Back the Iran Agreement

From J street--

While Prime Minister Netanyahu has led the charge against the deal - leading experts from the Israeli security community don’t agree with him. We’ve done everything we can to amplify their voices, bringing leaders like former Shin Bet Director Ami Ayalon, former Israeli Atomic Energy Agency director Uzi Eilam, and current Knesset Member Omer Bar-Lev to explain to Members of Congress why they believe this agreement is the best option for Israel.

General Eilam told CNN that “there is more promise in [the deal] than anything else.” “The strict implementation of the Iran nuclear agreement will significantly diminish the Iranian nuclear threat to Israel,” MK Bar-Lev wrote on MSNBC.com. “Israel would be best served if we objectively examined the situation rather than spreading fear and half-truths.”

There is a cabal of American, Israeli, and Saudi war profiteers who are attempting to stop it. I would rather see America and Israel involved with Iran instead of the Saudis. Iran has more promise as a democracy, and the Saudis have been the supporters of the worst Islamic radicals that we've seen so far.
