Israel awoke to a frightening new reality on Thursday as it absorbed, with disbelief and largely in silence, the terms of Trump’s agreement to end the war with Iran.

It is a disastrous deal from Israel’s point of view, analysts said, because it accomplishes none of Israel’s war aims and arguably leaves the country in worse shape on each of them.

“It’s a bad agreement in which the Americans are paying with cash, and got, at the maximum, a letter of intent,” Yaakov Amidror, a hawkish former national security adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, said in an interview.

    We should always believe what Rubio says because he would never lie to us. Can’t decide if you are naive, thick, duplicitous or some combination of the three.

    Never forget, it was Israeli “intelligence” regarding “WMDs” that got GW Bush to start his disastrous invasion of Iraq. Israel are not allies of the USA, they are the USA’s greatest threat and history will likely view them as their manipulation of US foreign policy as the reason for the downfall of the American empire.

      You are so dumb that is is laughable . Yes Israel was participating in manufacturing consent for the war on Iraq but the war was going to happen with or without it. The war on Iraq was primary about America imperialist interests The mastermind of the war was always Dick Cheney to enrich himself and his companies, to control of Iraq resources and enrichment to military industrial complex . You are the cultist who believe your poor shitty country never hold no responsibility that it is always the fault of other countries and foreign influences.

      You should read about how the region was important for empires for a millennium before spewing the bullshit of how the USA has no imperialist interests in supporting Israel and destroying Iran

        Opening with an ad hominem attack, this should be interesting…

        to control of Iraq resources and enrichment to military industrial complex

        You are the cultist who believe your poor shitty country never hold no responsibility that it is always the fault of other countries and foreign influences

        You then proceed with an unintelligible, illiterate diatribe. I was incorrect it was not interesting. I’m also from Ireland not the USA Einstein.

        You should read about how the region was

        You should read literally anything buddy, then learn how to write before playing with the big boys.

        What I have was facts about Israel manipulating the US government, as they have been doing since their shitty settler colony came into existence 70 odd years ago. You gave me your opinion and feelings, stop being so emotional homie, losing will do that to you I suppose…

          You are projecting. Being in a foreign cult is even worse. It is better to have flawed third-language skills than to be a brainwashed cultist. The fact is that the lie regarding Iraq’s WMDs existed long before Netanyahu. In reality, American intelligence produced an entire report disagreeing with those claims, yet Congress and the Bush administration refused to even read it. The fact remains that the United States has operated as an empire, consistently pursuing imperialist interests in the region. That area has been of critical geopolitical importance for a millennium, yet you refuse to read or learn anything new. You prefer to be spoon-fed lies.

            I disagree, it does however give you the ability to look foolish in more than one language, well done! You for some reason accuse me of being a “cultist” without any indication of what my cult may be, enlighten me please!

            I remember a time when the ziobots actually had decent arguments but the quality of your output has declined sharply recently. You, like the Zionist state have lost the run of the narrative, like all death cults Zionism can have only one end.
