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.

    These people wanted us to implement a draft and throw millions of Americans at Israel’s most fortified enemy in the region for peanuts. Fuck AIPAC and all other Israeli organizations that want us to fight their battles for them. We’re staying home and we’re not fighting anyone.

      That’s exactly what Israel wants: let someone else do their genocide for them.

    Should we remind them they started this dumpster fire? Bombed and invaded their neighbors, then dog walked Dementia Man into joining them. Sorry but they played themselves and now they’re stuck with the consequences.

    I still dont know why Israel exists. Like no one needs a “homeland” that was promised in a fairy tale a million years ago. Creating a homeland for an ethnic or religious group doesn’t work. Just look at India and Pakistan. Worked out wonderfully right? Wrong.

    They put their money on the idiot just starting a war, ignoring the warnings this could hang people out to dry, and now they’re shocked he can just stop the war leaves certain people hanging out to dry.
