WASHINGTON -- Historic negotiations with Iran will reach an inflection point on Monday, as world powers seek to clinch a comprehensive deal that will, to their satisfaction, end concerns over the nature of its vast, decade-old nuclear program.

But sharing details of the deal under discussion with The Jerusalem Post on the eve of the deadline, Israel has issued a stark, public warning to its allies with a clear argument: Current proposals guarantee the perpetuation of a crisis, backing Israel into a corner from which military force against Iran provides the only logical exit.

Hopefully the prevailing winds will keep it off us.

It's not difficult to see why Israel might be willing to go to *any* lengths to stop the 9th Century savages ruling Iran from getting a nuke.

Hopefully we will keep the idiot in chief from attacking Israel (by civil war if required) so we don’t get directly targeted.

Don't worry, Iran's paying for their own nukes. But, we might be on the receiving end of one once they get them working.

I don’t know if Israel has moved beyond simple nuclear fission bombs but, if not, I hope that they move quickly to also develop many hundreds of extremely high-yield Thermonuclear fusion bombs and Neutron Bombs. They will come in handy against their (and America’s) perpetual enemies in the Muslim world.

Israel should create a thousand-mile No-Muslim Zone around itself.

While Israel is assumed to have nukes, they’ve never been tested.

Iran is set on building a nuclear bomb. Talking won't change that.

The only question is, whether Israel will stop it militarily. The cost-benefit considerations are high stakes.

I would not blame Israel for bombing the sites. We should have done it, but; zero has no balls.

It would be better to get a little fallout blown our way, from Iran, than fallout from nuclear weapons going off in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

They will. Soon. Read Psalm 83 in the Bible. Coming soon to a Middle-East near you.

Technology is advanced enough that they can be “tested” on enemy targets of those who want to wipe them from the face of the earth.

Unlike us the Israelis will not wait to be taken down by the Muslims. Netenyahu and his crowd have cajones.
