Israel awoke to a frightening new reality on Thursday as it absorbed, with disbelief and largely in silence, the terms of President 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.

David Horovitz, the editor of The Times of Israel, called it “a catastrophic capitulation,” in the headline of a lengthy opinion column.

1. Everything trump touches dies. People don't listen.

2. TOO BAD, SO SAD--- After they helped to manipulate Trump into this 'non-consensual' war---

('non-consensual' on the part of the American people)---

I really DON'T GIVE A SHIT that Trump's bad deal leaves them in a worse position than when they started--
(like the U.S. and most of the rest of the world!)

In fact, I'm GLAD that it would make things WORSE for them!!!!

(maybe THAT will teach them not to help to wage or encourage needless wars---
but I doubt it!)

3. Good, I'm glad Israel is unhappy with the deal

They backed the wrong horse, they should have known Trump doesn't have a spine.

And maybe Iran uses the windfall they are getting to build up their military to have a more even power balance in the region so Israel will be forced to negotiate peace. As it is now, Israel enjoys such a power advantage they have zero incentive for peace when they can just bomb their neighbors endlessly with little fear of impactful retaliation. Because how it is right now certainly will never lead to peace.

7. Exactly, if Trump had a spine (or a brain) we wouldn't be in this mess

"Too many people have been killed. ​You don't have to knock down an apartment house every time you're looking for somebody, because there are a lot ​of people in those apartment houses, and they're not all Hezbollah," Trump said at the G7 ⁠summit in France.

6. Well, who talked Trump into doing this?

8. Maybe it's just anti-semitism.

9. A bad deal to get out of a bad war

As far as I’m concerned, both Bibi and Trump are the biggest losers here from start to finish.

10. This is what you get for dogwalking the idiot into it

Yes he was gullible enough for you to maneuver him into it, but this what you paid for.

13. bwahahahaha....

My grandmother used to say "if you lay down with dogs, you wake up with fleas." Her way of saying "be careful who you commit war crimes with." Everything Trump touches turns to shit. It's his one, true superpower.
