Israel, stunned by Trump’s Iran deal, sees it as a ‘catastrophic capitulation’

5 days ago by MicroWave to c/world

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

These people wanted us to implement a draft and throw millions of Americans at Israel’s most fortified enemy in the region for peanuts. Fuck AIPAC and all other Israeli organizations that want us to fight their battles for them. We’re staying home and we’re not fighting anyone.

That's exactly what Israel wants: let someone else do their genocide for them.

It's because their people are special, and shouldn't be sent to die.

Should we remind them they started this dumpster fire? Bombed and invaded their neighbors, then dog walked Dementia Man into joining them. Sorry but they played themselves and now they're stuck with the consequences.

Edit: to be clear fuck Israel’s motives here but it is a capitulation on an unprecedented scale

I still dont know why Israel exists. Like no one needs a "homeland" that was promised in a fairy tale a million years ago. Creating a homeland for an ethnic or religious group doesn't work. Just look at India and Pakistan. Worked out wonderfully right? Wrong.

Pissrael is like what, 75 years old? It has no tradition or culture deep enough to warrant all the suffering it creates, it should be dismantled, scrapped and sold for parts.

I like how they just expect the American government to just prioritize their interests over its own. Like "this is a bad deal because it hurts Israel" then you should've fucking shown up when they were negotiating the deal you dingus.

Frankly I was under the impression they weren't invited, completely justifiably.

Potato potato really. Either they refused to participate because they're fascists who don't want peace, or they weren't invited because they're fascists who don't want peace.

Why? They can keep bombing whoever they want. Did they not anticipate a loss of focus from the ballroom guy?

I haven't read the agreement but isn't one of the stipulations the fact that Israel has to stop hatefucking Lebanon?

dogslayeggs 4 points 4 days ago

I'm pretty sure the deal requires Israel to stop bombing Lebanon. Which is interesting, since it forces Conservatives here to choose between their two favorite things: killing brown people and making money.

To project strength, instead of actually starting a war.

An exercise? Your evidence that Biden would have been more in line with Israel's plans than Trump is that they did an exercise in an area of the world where the US is constantly starting shit and "needs" to be prepared for the next time they start shit?

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
