As Biden’s handlers remain bent on appeasing the genocide-minded jihadis of the Islamic Republic of Iran and enabling the “Palestinian” jihad as well, Israel stands alone.
“Netanyahu: We won’t be bound by ‘Iran deal that threatens us with annihilation,’” Times of Israel, April 7, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Wednesday that Israel will not be bound by a revitalized nuclear deal between world powers and Iran, declaring that the Jewish state is obligated only to defending itself against those who seek to destroy it.
In a speech at the Yad Vashem memorial museum during Israel’s official Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony, Netanyahu referred to negotiations in Vienna aimed at bringing the US back into the 2015 nuclear pact while getting Iran to abide by its commitments to the unraveling deal.
“A deal with Iran that threatens us with annihilation will not obligate us,” Netanyahu declared.
“Unlike in the past, today there is no one in the world that will deprive us of the right and the might to defend ourselves from an existential threat,” he said. “The nuclear deal with Iran is once again on the table. Such deals with extreme regimes are worthless.”
“I say to our closest friends too: ‘A deal with Iran that threatens us with annihilation will not obligate us.’ Only one thing will obligate us: to prevent those who wish to destroy us from carrying out their plans.”
Netanyahu has often used his speeches at Holocaust-related events to invoke Iran as the new existential threat to the Jewish people’s existence.
US President Joe Biden has said he is ready to reverse the decision of his predecessor Donald Trump to withdraw from the landmark 2015 nuclear agreement, negotiated to ensure that Iran did not develop a military nuclear program, but the White House has insisted that Iran first return to compliance.
Tehran demands the US first lift sanctions, imposed by Trump, putting the sides at a stalemate. Netanyahu opposed the nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, right from the outset.
In his speech, the prime minister also railed against the International Criminal Court’s “outrageous” decision to investigate Israel for potential war crimes against Palestinians.
“The Jewish people were defenseless in the face of the Nazis but are no longer so, and have every right to defend themselves from their enemies,” he said.
The ICC, he noted, was formed in the image of the courts of the Nuremberg trials that brought Nazis to justice. But “from Nurenberg to The Hague things were turned upside down. A body formed to defend human rights has become a body that in actuality defends those who trample on human rights.”…

“. . . negotiated to ensure that Iran did not develop a military nuclear program . . .”,
I respectfully and passionately disagree with this statement, whoever its source. The Iran deal was to postpone its public admission of having nuclear weapons. The content of the deal as published never said anything about a permanent commitment to forego development and production of weapons; only that there would be a delay of approximately 10 years.
It makes no sense to spend 40 years and tens of billions of dollars, including building and running tens of thousands of progressively more advanced centrifuges and heavy water reactors to foster production of Plutonium as an alternative to enriched Uranium, and still not have BOMBS (plural). The US did not know that an atomic bomb was possible, and developed 2 working designs in less than 5 years. Now everybody knows they work and have machines and computers nobody could imagine in 1940.
By its own efforts and its cooperation, and without reasonable doubt funding, of North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs, Iran has bombs now. They are being led by suicidal maniacs who dream of triggering WWIII in order to bring about the return of the missing 12th Imam.
Viktor Frankl’s Delusion of Reprieve from Man’s Search for Meaning is alive, well and actively practiced in many places. God Bless Israel and its leaders.

Sadly, idiots clamoring for a “Deal” have no understanding of the distinction between “Negotiate” and “Ultimatum” in a final outcome.

Anyone who believes a single word from the TAQIYYA-MEISTERS of the Iranian MULLAHOCRACY is beyond being a delusional POLLYANNA !!! A new term for that level of mind-boggling, misplaced trust is required.
Knowing how Brideden enriched himself from China, Moscow and Ukraine (through his son who gave him half), we must assume that similar, personal deals are ongoing with Iran.
James Lincoln says
Frank Anderson,
To your point, the Western world should assume that Iran already has at least one or two deployable nuclear weapons.
And Israel should assume, “thanks” to the phony Harris / Biden administration, that the United States will no longer defend them against an Iranian attack – conventional or nuclear…
Frank Anderson says
James, as happens often, we agree. If you get a chance to visit the Albuquerque museum, see what is possible. There are many ways to accomplish a desired result. Israel can handle the problem.

Well said
Infidel says
Israel should also tell the US that they will go back and annex those areas of Judea and Samaria that they decided not to while signing the Abraham Accords. I doubt that the Emirates or Saudis would wanna take any retaliatory action against them, given that they’d be even more opposed to such a deal than Israel
Dajjal says
America has a doofus, Israel has a statesman.
Dude says
Netanyahu and Robert Spencer reveal the truth so exactly, so succinctly that the sane world cannot but see the truth.
James Lincoln says
Dude, you’re assuming that we are living in a sane world.
We are not…
Dude says
Ever since I learned about THE BOMB and practiced hiding under my desk at school, I became my own man, knowing that you’re all crazy.
And it worked for me, as I watch TV and see just how foolish your lives really are.
aVoice says
Oh, Dajjal how can you be so unkind; we as a Nation have become so liberated the a mentally incompetent person with the onset of Alzheimer’s can sit in the Oval Office! And just think: He even gets to have custody of the Nuclear Football! Such a feeling of security, wouldn’t you say?
James Lincoln says
aVoice,
I could even see Sleepy Joe trying to use the ADA Americans With Disabilities Act to show that he can perform the “essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodation…”
David Grisez says
The Islamic Republic of Iran can not be trusted. These ayatollahs are accustomed to lying. The Islamic leadership of Iran has at its goal the attainment of Nuclear Weapons. As a result reentering the Nuclear deal with Iran will only help the ayatollahs to achieve their goal. Also a Nuclear Armed Islamic Republic of Iran will not only be a threat to Israel, Iran will also be a threat to the United States. Here is one possibility that I hope does not happen. The United States now has wide open borders. Here is what a Nuclear Armed Iran could do, even if their missiles can not reach the United States. A nuclear armed Iran could ship one of their nuclear bombs by sea ship to Mexico, then the Nuclear Bomb could be shipped by truck to the United States through an open border to a large city in the United States. Then the Nuclear Bomb could be detonated, destroying a large city and causing a lot of deaths.
James Lincoln says
Beyond frightening, David.
And not totally impossible…
john smith says
Yes David, that is more than just a possibility if they were ever to launch a nuclear attack in the US. That is most certainly the way they would do it.
They would do it slyly and cowardly, not wanting their fingerprints on it so they could blame anyone but themselves.

“I say to our closest friends”
Someone should inform Netanyahu that we here in America are not even friends with each other any more. I swear, it is as if the countries of the world are oblivious to the impossible to fix great divide within America. The progressive democrat party prefers a third world America as opposed to the America of the past. Get with the program Netanyahu, this isn’t our grandfathers America any longer.
“Only one thing will obligate us: to prevent those who wish to destroy us from carrying out their plans.”
That could be said regarding US citizens vs democrats right here in the USA. Netanyahu and Israel have no other choice but to pick a side. Choose carefully. Choose as if Israeli lives depend on it because they do.
Infidel says
Problem is that Israel can’t diplomatically interfere in the internal affairs of the US by supporting one party against the other. But they would be justified if they did, particularly Bibi, since both Obama and Bill Clinton interfered in the Israeli elections to try and unseat him
tgusa says
“Problem is that Israel can’t diplomatically interfere in the internal affairs of the US by supporting one party against the other.”
Democrats interfere in their internal affairs. I guess that’s a one way street.
Infidel says
I know. That’s why I suggested that if Israel did interfere, they set up the precedent raison d’être for such a move!
tgusa says
Hear, hear! Do you have any plans to run for office?
Infidel says
Naah, I’d probably make Marjorie Taylor Green or Lauren Boebert look like Dems
gravenimage says
Most Americans do indeed support Israel.
Infidel says
Only Republicans. The Dems who did support Israel have either switched to (R) or to the Palis. In today’s party, it’s Ilhan Omar who represents the party’s foreign policy
gravenimage says
Actually, most people of both parties in the US support Israel–more Republicans, though.
tgusa says
It is a one party apparatus disguised as a two party system designed to deceive us all. There are many reps that should run as dems but they wouldn’t be elected if they did.
Beverly Teboe says
Well with Obamao pulling Biden’s strings what do you expect? Obamao hates Jews and would like to see them annihilated, hence the billions of dollars in foreign currency to Iran under the cover of darkness. As long as we have these evil people supporting even more evil people expect the worst.
gravenimage says
Netanyahu: ‘I say to our closest friends: A deal with Iran that threatens us with annihilation will not obligate us’
……………….
Bravo, Netanyahu!
Grimly under the Biden administration this is exactly the sort of enabling of Iran we have come to expect.
