Despite Obama's Claims, No Supporters for Iran Deal In Israel
BreakingIsraelNews ^ | August 7, 2016 | Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz

 

On Thursday, US President Barack Obama proclaimed that Israel was now a supporter of his nuclear deal with Iran, but on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu corrected him, saying that Israel is more worried about the deal than ever.

 

President Obama held a press briefing at the Pentagon on Thursday, coping with a revelation that the US flew pallets loaded with $400 million in cash to Iran in an unmarked cargo plane.

 

At the press conference, President Obama claimed that the time since signing the Iran deal has proven that it is an unmitigated success.

And it’s not just the assessment of our intelligence community. It’s the assessment of the Israeli military and intelligence community,” he stressed. “The country that was most opposed to this deal that acknowledges this has been a game-changer that Iran has abided by the deal that they no longer have the sort of short term breakout capacity that would allow them to develop nuclear weapons.”

 

On Friday, Prime Minister Netanyahu jumped in to correct President Obama.

 

“While Israel’s view on the Iran deal remains unchanged… it firmly believes that Israel has no greater ally than the United States,” said a statement released by Netanyahu’s office.

 

“Prime Minister Netanyahu looks forward to further strengthening the alliance between Israel and the United States with President Obama and with the next U.S. administration,” it added.

 

Tzachi Hanegbi (Likud) agreed with his party leader.

 

“I don’t know to which Israelis [Obama] spoke recently,” said Hanegbi, “But I can promise you that the position of the prime minister, the defense minister and of most senior officials in the defense establishment has not changed,” he told The Times of Israel.

 

“The opposite is the case. The time that has elapsed since the deal was signed proved that all our worries that, regrettably, we had before the deal was made, were justified.”

So the next time some shooter creates a "hostage situation," we should say "No, he's' crafting a tightly scripted exchange specifically timed to the satisfaction of his requests?"

 

Best euphemism ever.

Ok ok maybe it was kind of sort of maybe possibly perhaps ransom.

 

The current excuse is "No, they didn't hold prisoners until we gave them money. We held the money until they gave us the prisoners."

 

So it's not ransom, it's blackmail. Retroactive blackmail. Or reverse blackmail. Bizarro-world blackmail. But not ransom...nuh-uh, no way.
