I don't see how anyone can take anything Israel says seriously. They have hidden nukes, they attack other sovereign countries by stealth (Syria for one) and they have rekindled the ghost of the old cold war by building that ridiculous wall. Israel is the 21 century Apartheid.

Same could be said about Arabic nations not having reasons to trust Israel.
Anyway, the Iranians are not Arab, and they haven't attacked anyone, as oppose to Israel.
right...because the Islamic nations have worked so hard on bringing about peace with Israel, because that is all they have ever wanted (rolls eyes)....but you are right, Iranians are not Arabs, but Iran has been proved to be the supplier of weapons to Hezbollah and hamas...so to think that Iran is ONLY interested in peace is a fallacy.

I tend to agree with them... at this point, anyway.
Is there a particular reason why you agree with them at this point? Why do you think this deal could be dangerous? My interpretation is that it works they say it will then it is a huge step forward in diplomatic relations. Israel is just pissed that they have less of an excuse to bomb Iran now...
First of all, it doesn't take a master's degree in English to see that many (here and elsewhere) have a profound opposition to all things Israel so... if the treaty had limited Iran to building one bomb per month, there would still be cheering.
But, beyond that and speaking strictly for myself, I think that the issue was important enough to demand more than what was achieved in the current agreement. One need only look at the region and other nations such as India and Pakistan where these weapons stand ready under fingers ready and willing to push the button at the drop of a hat. Once this happens... under any condition, that old genie is out of the lamp and hell will be on the world's doorstep.
So, for the moment, I think we could have done better...

Israel also gives weapons to terrorist cells. So again they have no place to complain about Iran.
The moment our Governments knowingly gave money, armoured vehicles, weapons and supplies to Terrorists in Syria, whatever the motivation that was used as an excuse to do so, is the moment 'The war on Terror' was lost and completely discredited as the farce it always has been.

TextIsrael has reason to not trust Islamic Arab nations, they live in the same neighborhood. let's not forget that just 2 nuclear bombs detonated in Israel could pretty much wipe out most of the population, due to it's relatively small size. that scenario tends to focus the mind, just put yourself in his place, by looking at a map, and studying the past 60 years of history.

not to nitpick but most Muslim nations are huge compared to Israel they also surround them and could easily isolate and strangle Israel.
if not for America or Europe then there would be a large war between Arabs and Persians with Israeli's being exterminated by either side, besides that as history shows without nuclear deterrence(or the assumption of possessing such), luck or outside help Israel is far outmatched militarily by most Muslim states and aren't as all powerful as everyone seems to think they are.
so many talk of Israel as if they are some superpower or something and forget what it is really capable of, they also like to contradict themselves and accuse Israel of having nukes while claiming Iran doesn't even though similar estimates and proof(or lack of) exist for both sides regarding nuclear weapons. both have nuclear programs, nuclear power plants and long range missiles but neither has been proven to actually have nukes or to have tested any beyond suspicion of a third party doing such for them.
