And you should have learned that the only outcome of appeasing the Iranian terror regime is more dead Jews. It's blatantly obvious & always has been. But no you were somehow smarter. The decisions being made now are going to impact millions of lives reverberate for generations and risk all kinds of escalation. The U.S. should have learned from 9/11 the profound cost of being guided by anger and fear. I hope that is what we are telling the Israeli government The decisions being made now are going to"
