Look, I get it, Israel views Iran as the bigger threat, so it's playing "my enemy's enemy is my friend", I understand that, Middle-Eastern politics is a dirty game.
I understand why Israel does what it does. I do not for the life of me understand why the United States and the rest of the western world feels the need to follow suit.
Iran poses no threat to the US of the West. The Sunni maniacs of Saudi Arabia pose a huge threat. It was not the Iranians who flew jet airliners into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, it was "our good friends the Saudis". That was an act of war by Saudi Arabia and yet the US kisses their ass, what do the Saudis need to do to the US for Americans to get mad at them?
It is not Hezbollah who are cutting off heads, driving trucks into holiday makers and blowing up little girls at pop concerts, it is ISIS, the Sunni terrorists created and funded by Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states and yet these are the friends and allies of the US while Iran is the great pariah.
Iran is not the threat folks, Israel might not like Iran but the Israelis are big boys and with their Saudi friends they can deal with it as they see fit.
There is no logical reason on God's green Earth why the US should be siding with head-chopping, desert dwelling, Sunni barbarians in Saudi Arabia.

“It is not Hezbollah who are cutting off heads, driving trucks into holiday makers and blowing up little girls at pop concerts,”
Actually, they are. They’re just doing it in Israel.

Both are and have been big threats. We need to have talks with the Saudi in charge.
‘There is no logical reason on God’s green Earth why the US should be siding with head-chopping, desert dwelling, Sunni barbarians in Saudi Arabia. ’
There was. OIL. Thank God for fracking.
Iran should get the next noble peace prize - they’ve done what an entire generation of western “leaders could not. They are getting the Arabs and Israelis to work together. ... only half joking.
The propaganda being spread, the #FakeNews being spread is at times laughable including the notion that ISIS was created by the Iranians who have been fighting IS and all the other Osama Bin Laden sympathizer jihadists imported into Syria’s civil war funded by Qatar, Saudi Arabia etc. etc. etc.
President Trump has said that Iran is non-compliant with the nuclear deal and thrown it into the lap of Congress.
Will they stop doing business with Iran if Iran is so evil and specifically will Boeing be stopped from selling 100 aircraft to Iran and will Airbus being stopped from selling 80 more planes to that country?
As far as I know those deals are on because they create jobs and are good for business.
I got a laugh when Netanyahu said the other week the Iran deal needs to be modified not scrapped.
The deal with its lifting of sanctions means busine$$ deals with the Iranians.
Israel buys and leases planes from Boeing too and El Al cut a new deal with them in the last year.
‘What’s shaping?.
A mutual appreciation for taste of human flesh?
Convergence of Biblical End Times events is what is pushing this. Ezekiel 38:13 lays out a last days war between Iran, Turkey, Russia (now aligned militarily for the first time in history) and Israel. Saudi Arabia, described as “Sheba & Dedan” offers a protest to these actions. It’s all about to happen soon. Sure there might be some Arab attempt at preservation against Sunni Iran, but at the end of the day - the Lord’s will be done. Iran, Russia, and Turkey will cease to exist after this war. For what it’s worth, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq really don’t exist anymore as nations.
IN POSSIBLE NOD TO ISRAEL, TWO TOP SAUDI OFFICIALS VISIT PARIS SYNAGOGUE
Israel is no amateur at warfare or the Intelligence game but I have serious questions about Saudi Arabia! How be it the desire is a good place to start but it’s not going to be cut & dry nor short term or cheap.
The news I read says that right this minute some of the Sunni barbarians who financed the 9-11 attacks are being hanged up-side down and tortured (hopefully in their dark and secret places) under the auspices of the new government in Saudi Arabia.
Exactly who is doing the hanging and torturing is not readily apparent, but it couldn't be happening to a better bunch of guys. Maybe it is Americans, maybe it is people from somewhere else. It is very apparent that the instigators are the new government of SA.
If the new government keeps this up, their radical subjects may even learn not to attack the US and Israel. This is as logical a reason as I can imagine.
It is not Hezbollah...
huh? Reagan did nothing when Hezbollah killed our 1/8 Marines in Beirut.

I figured Mossad would get to the truth.
Activities Around the World
Hezbollah is believed to have kidnapped and tortured to death U.S. Army colonel William R. Higgins and the CIA Station Chief in Beirut, William Buckley, and to have kidnapped around 30 other Westerners between 1982 and 1992.
Hezbollah was suspected of involvement in numerous anti-US and anti-Israeli terrorist attacks. The organization was responsible for the suicide truck bombings of the U.S. Embassy and U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut in October 1983, in which 241 American servicemen were killed (220 Marines, 18 Navy personnel and 3 Army soldiers) and the U.S. Embassy annex in Beirut in September 1984. snip
Three members of Hezbollah, Imad Mughniyah, Hasan Izz-al-Din, and Ali Atwa, were on the FBI’s list of 22 Most Wanted Terrorists for the hijacking in 1985 of TWA Flight 847 during which a U.S. Navy diver was murdered. Mughniyeh was assassinated in 2008 in a joint CIA-Mossad operation. Elements of the group were responsible for the kidnapping and detention of Americans and other westerners in Lebanon in the 1980s.
In 1989, Hezbollah terrorists planned to kidnap Israel’s consul general in Sao Paolo or a diplomat in Brasilia to use as hostages for negotiations to free Hezbollah prisoners in Israel. Security forces searched for the terrorists for a month before learning they had left the country.

Since the Second Lebanon War, Hezbollah operatives have been seen and, at times, even arrested in the Caribbean, Central America, South America and Asia.

U.S. State Department “wanted” poster for
Hezbollah operatives Talal Hamiyah and Fu’ad Shukr
Two alleged Hezbollah operatives were arrested in the United States on June 8, 2017. Ali Kourani, 32, and Samer el Debek, 37, both naturalized U.S. citizens, were charged with performing surveillance on prospective targets for attacks to be carried out by Hezbollah’s external operations wing, Islamic Jihad. Kourani, who was living in the Bronx, New York at the time of his arrest, had been gathering intelligence regarding operations and security at New York airports, and was working to identify individuals affiliated with the IDF in the U.S. Born in Lebanon in 1984, Kourani relocated to the United States in 2003. His family’s home in Lebanon was allegedly destroyed during the 2006 Lebanon War, and two years later he was recruited into Hezbollah.

Director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center Nicholas Rasmussen told reporters during a briefing in October 2017 that Hezbollah is determined to give itself a potential homeland option to launch attacks within the United States. As part of a new strategy by the Trump administration to take on Iranian proxies in the Middle East, Rasmussen announced a $12 million reward for the capture of two top Hezbollah operatives: Talal Hamiyah ($7 million) and Fu’ad Shukr ($5 million). Hamiyah is in charge of coordinating Hezbollah attacks outside of Lebanon, and Shukr played a central role in the 1983 attack on the U.S. Marine corps barracks in Beirut.
