IAEA chief’s death could spell the end of the Iran nuclear deal
With the recent death of the head of the IAEA, Netanyahu is finding renewed opportunity to bring the ‘atomic archives’ back to center stage and further sabotage the Iran nuclear deal. This is a grave strategic mistake. By Shemuel Meir The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the multilateral agreement that restricts Iran’s nuclear program and…

The unwritten history of Israel’s alliance with the Shah’s dictatorship
For years, Israel maintained close political, economic, and security relations with the Shah of Iran. Newly-declassified documents reveal that Israeli leaders were well aware of his murderous suppression of political opponents.

Win or lose, Netanyahu has already cemented his legacy
In his 10 years in power, Netanyahu has engaged in race-baiting against his own citizens, declared the occupation a permanent feature of Israeli reality, and shifted both the national and international conversation on Palestine. It is time to acknowledge that these are no mere trends — but his very legacy. Ten years after he was elected prime minister, it is…

Benjamin Netanyahu is a fake supporter of democracy
Israel’s prime minister wants Iranian protesters to know they have his full support in their struggle against their government. The same can’t be said about millions of people under his own government’s rule. Benjamin Netanyahu likes to present himself as a fervent supporter of democracy and pro-democracy protests. In fact he is a very selective…

The case against dismantling the Iran deal: A view from Israel
All those arguing that the deal wasn’t working or that it wasn’t ‘good enough’ are misrepresenting the facts. Here’s how they’re doing it and why they’re wrong. By Shemuel Meir Making good on his ultimatum, the American President trumpeted America’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) earlier this month. This was the opening salvo…

Out of Iran deal, into war? Either way, Netanyahu’s popularity soars
Netanyahu appears to have inoculated himself against looming corruption charges due to the dramatic developments on the security front. As war with Iran looms, why does the old formula work so well? On Wednesday night, the day after Trump announced his withdrawal from the Iran deal, in between Israeli airstrikes in Syria, Israel’s Channel 2…

The Iranian nuclear deal remains the least bad option
Pulling the U.S. out of the deal — or provoking Iran to pull out — would mean abandoning the least bad option for dealing with an Iran that can produce highly enriched uranium. By Peter Jenkins Abbas Araghchi was in London last week. Araghchi, one of Iran’s deputy foreign ministers, was a negotiator of the Joint Comprehensive…

A wall and a war: Two things every fascist regime needs
Both Trump and Netanyahu want to secure their rule by attacking liberal, democratic forces. But in order to do so, they need two things: a wall and the promise of eternal war. By Alon Mizrahi “George Soros is funding the campaign against deporting infiltrators… Obama deported two million infiltrators and they didn’t say anything.” These…

Bibi says Iran will soon have 100 nuclear bombs. Well, where are they?
Netanyahu is repeating the claim that, following the nuclear deal, Iran will soon amass an arsenal of a hundred bombs. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. By Shemuel Meir Speaking at the Jerusalem Post’s Diplomatic Conference on December 6th, 2017, Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that, within a decade, Iran stands to emerge from the nuclear deal with not…

In Netanyahu’s eyes, Trump can do no wrong
Netanyahu loves Donald Trump as president so much that he is willing to overlook anything — even tacit support for white supremacists. By Mitchell Plitnick “This is bonkers. Israel’s government says don’t overreact to neo-Nazis in the U.S. because it could hurt relations with Trump. Totally insane.” So said Dr. Brian Klaas, a Fellow in Comparative…

A disastrous outcome if Trump pulls out of the Iran deal
Trump seems determined to go forward with a very hostile program toward Iran, and, although a baseless U.S. pullout from the nuclear deal seems unlikely, even the so-called ‘adults in the room’ are looking for a pretext. By Mitchell Plitnick Donald Trump rarely tries to hide his intentions. When he intends to do something reckless…

The mask is off: Trump is seeking war with Iran
The White House is committed to finding a way to claim Iran has violated the nuclear deal, regardless of the facts — just as George W. Bush did with Iraq. By Trita Parsi Something extraordinary has happened in Washington. President Donald Trump has made it clear, in no uncertain terms and with no effort to…
