Israel: Deal a capitulation, will give Iran ‘a military nuclear program’

http://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-deal-a-capitulation-will-give-iran-nuclear-power-for-purpose-of-war/

An Israeli official late Thursday castigated the nuclear deal struck between Iran and world powers earlier in the evening as a dangerous capitulation to Tehran which would result in the Islamic republic’s nuclear armament.


The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, railed furiously against the framework agreement shortly after it was hailed by US President Barack Obama as a “historic agreement.”

“This is a bad framework that will lead to a bad and dangerous deal,” he said. “If an agreement is reached based on the guidelines of this framework, that would be an historic mistake which will transform the world into a much more dangerous place.”


Little rightwing government having a big sad because they fear they won't get the war they've been seeking.

to agitate for a war and try to sabotage this deal

Boehner, Cotton, etc etc.

Scott Walker has already said he'd dump the agreement if elected president.

Walker isn't elected President. And, maybe, we can work to get the 47 out of office, too.

You can't threaten them militarily, only economically. As nasty a place as North Korea is, they've got nuclear ability, so you never hear any talk of bombing them or invading them. Whereas Iran, without nukes, is being threatened with airstrikes again and again as the years pass. So they don't want anyone in the region but Israel to have nukes. So it's 'go to war quick, before you lose the chance to!'

Or at least the RW in control doesn't want peace.

Big surprise that RWers want war, huh?

All the conservatives I know are libertarians.

You still haven't explained why netanyahu wants a war with Iran, insults aren't an argument.

Israel dealt with saddam's nukes with a couple missile strikes, why would Iran be any different? Granted their program is more spread out but still, this "war with iran" meme is pure hyperbolic propaganda.

Sounds like you favor a military resolution, i.e. war with Iran.

As far as not knowing any rightwing warmongers, don't insult our intelligence.

If Israel bombs Iran, it earns the consequences.

Israel told the US that invading Iraq would be a mistake:

My condolences on not getting your war, this time. Of course, still plenty of Lebanese and Palestinians to brutalize, so from the Israeli government's perspectives still cause for hope.

I too hope and pray ( as much as an atheist can) that there is no war...

But your "expert" here is a linguist ... Kind of like a chef or a travel agent being held up as experts on Iran and its warmongering leadership.
