Synagogues across the globe declared a day of mourning.Asked if the descendants of Abraham shouldn’t be pleased about being tapped for an unprecedented second term, Jerusalem Rabbi Ben Meyerson shrugged. “Of course, you are right, we should be thrilled,” he said. “We should also enjoy a good swift kick in the head, but for some reason, we don’t.

Sen. Cruz Compares Nuke Deal to Munich, Netanyahu to Churchill
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Monday night that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s speech before Congress Tuesday “focuses on the single greatest security threat facing America - the threat of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons.”
“We’re at a moment in history where echoes of the past can be heard,” he added. “The nuclear deal being negotiated with Iran, I believe, would be a historic mistake on the same order as Munich.
“To allow the theocratic extreme mullahs in Iran to have nuclear weapon capability increases dramatically the likelihood that those weapons of great destruction will be used to murder billions,” the senator warned.

Stuff you may not know about Bernie Sanders:
In his 20s, he lived on an Israeli kibbutz for a while.
Perhaps surprisingly, he does not have a 100% negative rating from the NRA. He voted against the Brady Bill and in 1994 supported an NRA sponsored bill that would limit the liability of gun manufacturers.
He is perhaps the strongest member of the senate on veterans issues. He has sponsored several key pieces of legislation on behalf of veterans and In 2014 he received the Col. Arthur T. Marix Congressional Leadership Award from the Military Officers Association for his support of veterans.
He would be a great president but, as other lizards have pointed out, he wouldn’t have the proverbial snowball’s chance in the general election. His nomination would force at least some RWNJs to find out what “socialism” really is though.

Meanwhile - to my surprise - Bibi’s approval in the US has gone UP - with both Republicans and Democrats:
And according to a Gallup poll released Monday, 45 percent of Americans view Netanyahu favorably, up from 35 percent in 2012.
Sixty percent of Republicans said they view Netanyahu favorably, while only 31 percent of Democrats do. But Netanyahu’s favorability has still improved among Democrats, despite their opposition to his speech this week.
Netanyahu’s favorability has gone up 6 points with Democrats and 10 points with Republicans since 2012.

They tried that with me on another board so I had to post this:
Imagine if Israel would launch a successful preemptive strike against a country that is building a nuclear bomb that threatens its very existence, and the American president would describe it as “a tragedy”.
And then, not only would the U.S. administration fail to “stand by its ally”, as Republicans pledged this week, but it would actually lend its hand to a UN Security Council decision that condemns Israel, calls on it to place its nuclear facilities under international supervision and demands that it pay reparations (!) for the damage it had wrought.
And then, to add insult to injury, the U.S. president would impose an embargo on further sales of F-16 aircraft because Israel had “violated its commitment to use the planes only in self-defense”.
They were not pleased.

Last night, the manager sent out a weaselly little email stating “Yeah, it was kind of my fault, but you guys should have caught the changes, even though they ran over the weekend while you weren’t here.” Some of our team is already using the “open door policy” to escalate this to his boss.

re: #255 Blind Frog Belly White
The ability of Israel to hit Iranian nuclear facilities is not quite the same as its ability to have hit Syrian or Iraqi nuclear facilities in 2007 and 1981, respectively. First and foremost, the distances involved would mean a far more difficult route.
Iran has also dispersed its nuclear facilities to avoid the problems seen with a consolidated facility as in Osirak or al-Kibar. That means you need more planes and more routes in and out of the country. Even if you’re flying with buddy stores, you’re going to cut it close. In fact, you’re not going to make it, especially if you’re likely to encounter enemy aircraft.
Firing off long range missiles isn’t likely a good alternative either, not when you’re going to shoot through Jordan/Iraq/Kuwait and into Iran.
Israel could fire missiles from its subs, but getting them into position in the Persian Gulf would be tough. And you again run the risk of missing the targets altogether, which are purposefully located in and near populated areas like Tehran, Qom, Bushehr, etc.
Here’s the rub though. Despite all of Netanyahu’s complaints about the deal, the US hasn’t blocked or overruled Israel’s right to self defense. If Israel is threatened, they’re going to be able to defend themselves.
Israel has gotten a major boost from the Obama Admin. to deploy more Iron Dome systems, and Patriot systems; together those should provide a measure of protection against ballistic missiles from Iran. But that also assumes that Iran will simultaneously develop not only the nuclear materials but the miniaturization of the nuclear weapon tech to make it feasible to launch them on a missile.
And Israel is hardly alone in worrying about Iran’s nuclear capabilities, but we didn’t have the new Saudi king or Jordan’s King Abdullah, or the Kuwaiti leaders or Gulf State Emirs speak before Congress to complain about a deal.

re: #255 Blind Frog Belly White
For one thing, Israel doesn’t’ need to nuke Iran’s nuclear reactors. At least one of the reactors is located on a major earthquake fault, and there’s longstanding concerns that a major quake could cause failures of containment. Why act when nature can do the work for us?
But for another thing, the enrichment program uses centrifuges (IR1/IR2) that don’t use nuclear reactors to separate the uranium hexafluoride gas into its constituent bits - the U235 and U238.
