That Obama (like Frankenstein) created a monster, of this there is no doubt. The Iran Deal is folly from A to Z.
Even many on the Left agree that Kerry pandered like a Quisling in Tehran, which leads me to consider if there may be an upside to the fiasco.
By the numbers, let’s have a look at the positives that may have come about unintentionally:
1. The Left and the Right in Israel stand together against this dirty deal. Netanyahu and Herzog exchanged handshakes. That’s something.
2. The Palestinian Arabs have lost the front page. This is remarkable. For the first time in years I find no mention of them anywhere in The New York Times. Their whining, their complaints now fall on deaf ears – now that Iran, looming deadly across the globe, has taken the spotlight.
Their grievances are “a sideshow of a sideshow” compared to the menace posed by a nuclear-empowered Iran. The Palestinians will have to get back in line to win back the world’s attention -- a serious consequence to people who crave nothing but attention.
3. For years the Arab-Israeli conflict was all about them, the Palestinians and their cries for “more…more.” Well, no more.
“Two-state-solution” and “land-for-peace” – no sir, not in this climate where Israel faces an enemy that is sworn to destroy her through ballistic missiles. No “painful concessions” while the ayatollahs rouse a million Iranians to chant “Death to Israel” and will soon acquire the means to literally give it their best shot.
4. In cahoots with the Palestinians, the EU and the UN will have to find somebody else to drag into the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Israel will be too busy to show up. The Jewish State has bigger business to attend. Her survival.
5. UN diplomats will continue to harass the Jewish State, but with a missile-bloated Iran hovering overheard, their denunciations will sound laughable.
6. Now can the usual scoundrels say that tiny Israel is a threat to the region – and say it with a straight face?
7. BDS has been marginalized. Now it’s Israel against Iran. Now it’s about Israel facing a nuclear nightmare. Now it’s real. Time to wipe the smirk off their faces.
Now that Obama and Kerry have created a New Goliath, Israel is back to being perceived as what she was all along. Israel is David.
The world’s number one terror regime has been rebooted economically and reloaded militarily and thus reinvigorated seeks (for whatever reason) to murder every Jewish person in Israel and throughout the world. Clear enough? Yes. Positively. Absolutely.
9. Now that Obama and Kerry have created a New Goliath, Israel is back to being perceived as what she was all along. Israel is David.
Read this for the rounded view from the eyes of a warrior journalist.
We are back to David against Goliath, and even the Sunni Arabs have clarity about this.
10. The Sunni World, beginning with Saudi Arabia and onto the rest of the Gulf States, now view Israel as a partner. At least they know we are all in the same boat. It is too late to keep old grudges. The day will come when Israel will have to rush to their rescue, and they know this.
11. To overturn the deal, which places America in equal jeopardy with Israel, Democrats in both Houses of Congress will have to help Republicans form an overwhelming veto-proof majority. If the Democrats fail, we will know they meant it when they jeered Israel at the 2012 Democratic National Convention.
There will still be time to trash this thing if enough people come to their senses.
12. We know where Hillary stands. She stands with Obama on this deal. America has been warned.
American Jewish voters -- Hello?
