Israel Isn't Joining The Chorus Of Congratulations Over Implementation Of Iran Nuclear Deal

Source: ASSOCIATED PRESS

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu isn't joining the chorus of congratulations over the implementation of the Iran nuclear deal. Far from it.

Netanyahu's office says in a statement that Iran has not given up its nuclear ambitions and is a destabilizing force in the Middle East, as well as a supporter of terrorism. The statement urges world powers to monitor Iran closely and respond harshly to any violation of its obligations.

And the statement vows Israel "will do everything necessary to protect its security and defend itself."

Israel will probably just ask the U.S. for more 'allowance' money to cover their losses.

Let's threaten to withhold the $5 billion in welfare we send their way every year, and just watch how fast they get their butts back in the chorus.

If the GOP/ Bibi had their way, we'd be bombing/invading Iran today.
Aside from the human costs, how much would that have affected our debt levels?
Instead of putting Iranian oil on the market, invading would be driving up the price of oil, helping the Saudis and the Russians and hurting consumers at the gas pumps.
This is a HUGE win for America.

on a number of factors such as focusing their future efforts more on things like their infrastructure, education and alternative energy sources and little to nothing on nuclear power so as not to give any of the major world powers an excuse to implement sanctions and embargoes.

The biggest destabilising influence in the ME is Israel. Anything that puts Netanyahu's nose out of joint has to be a good thing.
