Really? Oh come on, that's preposterous.
I think it's a bad deal.....considering the bad actions of Iran for decades on the present regime....and how much they support terrorism worldwide. The sanctions should remain and their nuke facilities should be disseminated!
How many Saudis flew into the twin towers? How much Saudi cash flows into promoting Wahabbism and Al Qaeda?
Care to explain why you hate Israeli Jews?

". . . disseminated!" Please check the dictionary next time you wish to use a word with more than two syllables.
Oh, look, a Leftie calling someone a "Racist", which means they must be winning an argument with a Liberal.
"New Wave White Supremacy" :lol: Get REAL!
I see Radical Islam as the enemy, as any sensible American, given recent events does.
I don't see Iran as an ally, because they're making statements of "Death to America" and "Nuke Israel" for their domestic audience, while negotiating in bad faith to obtain nuclear weapons.
Because I don't support people making such statements being allowed obtain nukes, that makes me an Anti-Semite? Really?! Hows that work?!
I suppose if I encouraged Iran to make nukes and use them on Israel, that would make me Pro-Israeli in your book?
I dare to suggest that White Christian Americans in the GOP might be good Allies to the Israelis, given the current middle east circumstances, and you say that "Proves" I am a White Supremacist and Anti-Semite?
With "Friends" like you, the Israeli's doesn't need Enemies like Iran or ISIS.
You're simply spewing accusatory labels with NOTHING to back up your statements.

I suppose we should feed the Christians to the Lions, or burn them at the stake? Jews, to their everlasting discredit, have been known to support that in the past...

Gallup survey shows 10% decline over past seven years in political alignment.
The number of American Jews who identify as Democrats dropped by 10 percent over the past seven years, according to survey results released by Gallup.
Meanwhile, the number of Jews identifying as Republicans has increased slightly but remains little changed overall.
Sixty-one percent of American Jews identified as either Democrats or Democratic-leaning in 2014, down from 71% in 2008, while 29% counted themselves in the Republican camp, the survey released on Tuesday found.
According to an analysis of the numbers by Gallup’s Frank Newport, the “diminished Democratic skew among American Jews in recent years is slightly more pronounced than the same trend among all Americans,” with identification with the party down by 7% in the same time period among the general population.
Jewish identification with the GOP jumped by seven points during the same period, as opposed to only 3% among all Americans.
While there are slight disparities between the general trends and those found among ...
No, other than posting angry messages online and a month of talking heads on TV few people including few American Jews will care. That's how genocides work. Kill everyone and there is no reason to care because they're dead.
Within a couple more generations, for the most part an American saying they are a Jew will be as relevant as Elizabeth Warren saying she's a Cherokee.
American Jews are irrelevant to anything about Israel the same as Irish Americans are relevant to anything about Ireland. A little pointless noise maybe. Nothing else.
By routinely disrespecting Israel, Obama and Democrats are testing the loyalty of Jewish voters
Will they vote for the party's standard bearer in 2016?
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Wednesday, February 11, 2015, 5:00 AM
In 1944, and for obvious reasons, the incumbent Democratic President Franklin Delano Roosevelt won a whopping 90% of the Jewish vote. Amid the backdrop of World War II, with campaign posters promising “Lasting Peace, Security for All,” and some strategic politicking, including the last-minute formation of a War Refugee Board, FDR became the trusted protector of the American — and European — Jew. (Republicans, it should be noted, were actually first in 1944 to adopt a plank endorsing Jewish statehood, but Democrats quickly caught on and did the same).
Since then, Jewish support for Democrats has been considerable and reliable. According to the editors of “Jews in American Politics,” JFK won 82% of the Jewish vote in 1960. Bill Clinton won 80% in 1992. Al Gore won 79% in 2000.
In fact, the anomalous nadir of Jewish support for Democrats was, also for obvious reasons, in 1980, when Jimmy Carter managed a mere 45% of the vote. Even then, Ronald Reagan still only won 39%.
Over the past six years, President Obama has continued to...
The problem’s been building for a while.
Last year, Bill Clinton was overheard telling a man at a campaign event that he didn’t think Netanyahu was “the guy” to broker a peace deal with the Palestinians.
Also last year, Secretary of State Kerry was caught in a closed-door meeting predicting Israel would become an “apartheid state” without a peace deal, a comparison that angered Israel and led to an eventual apology from Kerry.
With all of these missteps, both public and private, it seems as though Democratic leaders either fundamentally don’t understand what’s important to Israel, or they absolutely understand what’s important to Israel and privately believe in a different set of priorities.
The failures of the political left to be trustworthy and reliable caretakers of our American-Israeli alliance have infected the cultural left as well.
The New York Times was so quick to defend Obama’s indignation over the “unannounced” Netanyahu visit that it incorrectly reported that Netanyahu accepted the invitation from House Speaker John Boehner before the White House had been told of it. It has since issued a correction.
What makes all this even more pronounced is that Obama seems unconcerned with offending an ally while he simultaneously contorts himself to avoid calling our radical Islamic enemies by name, and negotiates with other enemies who have publicly called for the obliteration of Israel.
But will American Jews care?
Perhaps. In the last election, Obama’s share of the Jewish vote slipped to 69% from 78% in 2008. As Dan Senor wrote at the time, that wasn’t...
Will American Jews elect a Republican president in 2016?
The table below provides a very clear picture of how Jews voted in past presidential elections – the majority always voted for Democratic candidates. However the world is changing quickly and the Jewish community is wondering how it will be affected by it.
When a synagogue is attacked in Copenhagen, or a Jewish grocery store is attacked in Paris, every Jewish community in America feels the pain and the thought of potential attacks on American Jewish institutions is surfacing. Jews are asking themselves could this happen here, and if so, which party (when in power) has a better chance of stopping it?
The very public ongoing confrontation between the head of the Jewish state, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the present Democratic American president, Barak Obama, brought the relationships between the two states to the lowest level in recent history. The American Jewish community is caught in the middle, trying to support the president which it overwhelmingly elected, while protecting the interests of their relatives who live in the Jewish state.
A desire for a safe environment at home and the feeling that the president and the Democratic party is throwing Israel under the wheels of the Iranian nuclear bus, may be enough to drive the Jewish community to vote into office a Republican president for the first time in almost 100 years.
Jews represents only 2% of the total US population. Why should the Jewish vote matter?
It matters for two reasons:
1. The Jewish population is concentrated in few key states (New York, California, Florida, Maryland, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Washington DC). The American presidential general election is an indirect election. American citizens in each state cast ballots for a slate of members of the U.S. Electoral College; these electors in turn directly elect the President and Vice President. Most state laws establish a winner-take-all system, wherein the ticket that wins the most votes in the state wins all of that state’s allocated electoral votes. Thus, the Jewish minority can tip the election one way or the other in those key states, which together represent approximately 30% of the total electoral college.
2. “The importance of the Jews isn’t their votes,” said Benjamin Ginsberg, a professor of political science at Johns Hopkins University. “They account for a huge share of the activist base of the Democratic Party and account for much of the money available to Democratic candidates. If you are a Republican strategist, it seems fairly obviously that if you can shift Jewish support even a little bit away from the Democrats, it makes the Democratic Party less competitive.” [theatlantic.com]
Until now, Jews supported the Democratic Party over the Republican Party by more than three-to-one: 70% say they are Democrats or lean toward the Democratic Party, while 22% are Republicans or lean Republican.
According to the Daily Forward online magazine, the reason for the overwhelming Jewish vote for the Democratic candidate lies not with shopping habits or ZIP codes, but rather with heritage and culture. Jews are not convinced...

You can't declare a group enemy and hope they will vote for you. And right now that is still the feeling Obama is projecting. He is putting in place policies that will endanger the relationship with long standing allies without showing how else the developments could go.
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Celebrations broke out in Tehran on Thursday night as a landmark framework agreement for a nuclear deal between Iran and world powers was announced.
Videos posted on social media showed cars driving through the streets of Tehran with honking horns and passengers clapping.
Twitter posts described people dancing in the streets of north Tehran and passing out sweets. Some posted pictures of a small gathering in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In one video posted on Facebook, a group of women can be heard clapping and chanting "Thank you, Rouhani." in praise of President Hassan Rouhani.
The framework agreement is likely to boost Rouhani's popularity among the millions of young Iranians who voted for him in 2013.
So far, there has been no overt criticism of the framework agreement by Rouhani's hardline critics.
Appearing on state TV shortly after it was announced, hardline parliamentarian Alaeddin Borujerdi aimed his barbs at U.S. President Barack Obama and his characterization of Iran's role in the region rather than the agreement.
The framework agreement was reached after more than a week of intense diplomacy between an Iranian team of negotiators led by Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and negotiating teams from the United States, Britain, Russia, France, China and Germany.
Iran has long maintained that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and the framework agreement is intended to introduce curbs and inspections on the program.
If a final settlement is reached, it would roll back harsh sanctions that have hammered Iran's economy and made the lives of ordinary Iranians more difficult.
Iranians Celebrate Agreement Online and in the Streets
APRIL 3, 2015
As my colleague Thomas Erdbrink reported from Iran’s capital, Tehran, Iranians greeted news of a framework nuclear agreement that could bring an end to international sanctions and isolation warily at first, and then somewhat more loudly.
Within hours of the deal’s being announced on Twitter by Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, journalists and bloggers were sharing glimpses of public and private joy, with video and images of honking car horns and dancing in the streets spreading online.
When Obama declares Israel the enemy, and by extension, all Jews, why should American-Jews hesitate to look to the White-Christians of the GOP as Allies?
Clearly, the 2014 Obama-led Democratic Party can no longer be trusted.
And American White Christians have been good allies to the Jewish people on many occasions in the past.
And the GOP would be better served reaching out to Israel and American Jews, than trying to somehow find common ground with Radical Islam, and their Chanting of "Death to America!, Death to America!, DEATH to AMERICA!"
I find it very telling, the same crowds who were cheering at the "Death to America" comments by their leadership, were literally out dancing in the streets yesterday, at the announcement of the Iranian Nuke Treaty. What does that tell you about the Treaty?

When Tel Aviv disappears in a glowing mushroom, so will all American-Jewish Support for the Democratic Party.
Short of that extremity, despite the perils in the middle east brought on by Obama's Pursuit of a regional Islamic Caliphate, slightly more than half of American-Jews will continue to vote for the Democrats.... Mostly out of a Tradition of racial / ethnic bigotry against Euro-Christians.
Sad.

The support the same statism that has killed millions of their own race...Some people either can not learn or have a death wish. Either way not our nation problem.
I believe it would be greatly against our American National Interests to allow the creation of a Nuclear Armed, Iranian Founded, Middle Eastern, Regional, Radical Islamic Caliphate.
I believe it would far worse to allow such a Caliphate to use nuclear weapons do exterminate Israel.
It would set a number of precedents:
* Nuclear weapons used in Warfare since WWII.
* Nuclear weapons used in an Aggressive War of Conquest and Genocide, rather than as a MAD defensive deterrent.
* Profit and territorial acquisition by Genocide.
* Psychological "Victor" status to already violent and extremist Sunni and Wahhabi Islam.
* A training and proving ground conflict for the testing and advancement of Caliphate Nuclear Arms combined with ground / air invasion operations.
* Intimation effect on non-radicalized Muslim countries, forcing the conversion to extreme Islamic Control. Most of Africa would become part of the Caliphate within a few years.
....
These are just a few of reasons that America has a large vested interest in not allowing the Nuclear Genocide of Israel.
I shouldn't have to explain this!
P.S. Imagine the 200+ Million population of the tiny country of Ethiopia, converted to Radical Islam, fed strong on captured grain, given AK-47s and RPGs made in Islamic Former Russian Satellite State Factories in Chechnya and Azerbaijan, ...
A heavy armed, Boko Haram, 100+ Million Strong, wanting fresh young women, heading to France and Europe!

'Convert or die,' Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram tells Christian women
By Benjamin WeinthalPublished November 19, 2013
Hajja, a 19-year-old Nigerian Christian woman, told Reuters fighters from the militant Muslim group Boko Haram forced her to convert to their faith under the threat of death. (Reuters)
“They were about to slaughter me and one of them begged me not to resist and just before I had my throat slit I relented. "
- Hajja, Nigerian woman kidnapped by Boko Haram
The kidnapping of a young Christian woman and her forced conversion to Islam is part of an inhuman new strategy used by the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram to rid the region of Christians, experts told FoxNews.com.
After her escape from captivity of the radical Islamists, the 19-year-old Hajja told Reuters “I can’t sleep when I think of being there.”
Boko Haram ruthlessly exploited Hajja as its domestic slave, compelling her to clean and prepare meals for the Islamic militia. Her chilling account of her captivity included Boko Haram using her as bait to lure civilian Nigerians working with the military into murderous traps. She witnessed Boko Haram Islamists slashing the throats of captured civilians.
"If I cried, they beat me. If I spoke, they beat me. They told me I must become a Muslim but I refused again and again," said Hajja, who spent three months as a slave in the fanatic Boko Haram organization.
Hajja said she was forced at knifepoint to convert to Islam. “They were about to slaughter me and one of them begged me not to resist and just before I had my throat slit I relented. They put a veil on me and made me read from the Koran,” said Hajja.
Translated as “Western education is sinful” Boko Haram seeks to establish a Sharia Islamic law state in northern Nigeria; a country with 170 million people that is divided into a Muslim-majority north and a Christian south.
“Boko Haram has a well-established track record of committing heinous attacks against the citizens of northern Nigeria, both Christians and Muslims,” Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told FoxNews.com. “This latest account is just further evidence of why this despicable group must be defeated."

Inside Boko Haram: Women and girls forced to marry, convert and endure forced labour and rape in captivity
Kiran Moodley Monday 27 October 2014
Women and schoolgirls abducted by the Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram have been forced "to marry, convert, and endure physical and psychological abuse, forced labour, and rape in captivity", according to a report by Human Rights Watch.
The report comes in the wake of April's abduction of 276 girls from Chibok secondary school, which was widely covered by the international media and led to the #Bring Back Our Girls campaign. Human Rights Watch spoke to some of the schoolgirls who managed to escape April's kidnapping.

Boko Haram: Kidnapped Christian Girls Forced Into Islam
By Raymond Ibrahim on February 8, 2015
Boko Haram leader Abubakr Shekau appears in the following video mocking America and others for being “so concerned about those girls,” a reference to the 276 Nigerian girls that Boko Haram kidnapped last April.
Shekau was probably puzzled why, of all of his Islamic organization’s acts of terror targeting Christians, this particular kidnapping gained so much mainstream media attention in the West. The reason, it seems, is that the MSM, which often ignores Muslim attacks on Christians, believed that these girls were Muslim, and so reported the kidnapping as it fit their narrative, namely that Boko Haram terror does not discriminate between Christians and Muslims.
In fact, the girls were overwhelmingly Christian. It was just another Boko Haram attack targeting Christians — very minor compared to other attacks (hence Shekau’s bewilderment at Western media concern). After the kidnapping, Shekau declared on video, “I abducted your girls. I will sell them on the market, by Allah….There is a market for selling humans. Allah says I should sell.”
