'HUMILIATION': Trump's Iran deal ignites backlash from Dems AND MAGA over 'surrender'

Garnel where are You?

 The world has become overwhelmed with a Pandemic 0f Trump Derangement Syndrome. Obviously you would claim caused by Obama and Biden. Even Fox News, NYPost,Yated and MAGA have caught it. The average Israeli  views him with contempt. Trump is being portrayed not as the defender of Israel but as the strongest champion of Iran. Garnel you have attacked me for months for being critical of Trump. Where are you now when the whole world has turned against him this self proclaimed Defender of the World?

The 5 passages of the US-Iran peace deal that worry critics the most: ‘Always tries to get more’

“The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran and their allies in the current war, by signing this MOU, declare the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon, and undertake from now on not to initiate any war or any military operation against each other, and to refrain from the threat or use of force against each other, and ensuring the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon. The final deal will confirm the permanent termination of the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon, and other provisions of this paragraph.”

The language about Lebanon has raised concerns in Israel, which is not a party to the agreement and has repeatedly carried out military operations against Iranian-backed Hezbollah in the country.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran will conduct dialog with the Sultanate of Oman to define the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz in discussion with other Persian Gulf or [Gulf] states in line with the applicable international law and the sovereign rights of coastal states of the Strait of Hormuz.”

The mention of “administration and maritime services” leaves open the possibility that Iran and Oman could charge service fees to ships that want to access the strait.

“United States of America undertakes with regional partners to develop a definitive, mutually agreed plan with at least USD $300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

“The United States of America undertakes to make fully available for use the frozen or restricted funds and assets of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Upon the implementation of this MOU, the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran will mutually agree on the procedures related to the release of these funds during the negotiations.”

‘SO BAD!’: MAGA sycophants OPENLY REVOLT against Trump for caving to Iran

Israel Worried About Trump’s Bad Deal With Iran

 https://yated.com/israel-worried-about-trumps-bad-deal-with-iran/

Even before the details were released of the Memorandum of Understanding that President Trump negotiated with Iran and that was announced on Sunday, the verdict in Israel and among Israel’s supporters across the political spectrum was immediate, unanimous, and deeply disturbing: It is a very bad deal, and clearly endangers Israel’s national security.

Rather than bringing a new era of peace to the Middle East as President Trump had promised to do, the reported concessions to their demands in the new deal are likely to further embolden the new hardline leaders of Iran and make them even more recklessly aggressive. After a period of recovery from the damage that it suffered during the 40-days of bombardment by the U.S. and Israel, Iran will pose a renewed threat not only to Israel but also to Iran’s Persian Gulf neighbors and the other states across the Middle East, which are now well within the range of its drones and ballistic missiles, and which Iran has already attacked.

By agreeing to a deal that achieved none of the four original aims for which the U.S. and Israel jointly went to war against Iran, President Trump sold out both Israel and his partner in the original attack on Iran, Prime Minister Netanyahu. By failing to require Iran to give up its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, and end its support and protection of Hezbollah and its other terrorist proxies, Trump’s ignominious surrender to Iran’s demands endangers Israel’s long-term survival, and has made yet another war with Iran in the years ahead inevitable.

Dr. Donald and Mr. Trump: The Iran deal exposes a dangerous reversal

 https://www.ynetnews.com/opinions-analysis/article/sjq07hgmml

The final memorandum appears even worse than the leaked version, strengthening Iran’s hold over Lebanon, ignoring Hezbollah’s disarmament and exposing a disturbing gap between Trump’s declarations and the agreement he signed

These are no longer rumors. The agreement is before us, and on some points it is even worse than the 14 leaked clauses.

The gap between Donald Trump’s declarations and reality has never looked so wide. It is a troubling and frightening gap, one that raises concern that something went wrong in the judgment of Trump and his two loyal envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Claims that something with the scent of corruption influenced this puzzling agreement are already being heard in the United States. And the more the final, authoritative version of the agreement is revealed, the more the concerns grow.

Start with Lebanon. The agreement turns it into an Iranian protectorate.

Trump defends his Iran deal, criticizes longtime ally Israel as G-7 ends

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/06/17/trump-defends-iran-deal-white-house-unveils-details/

While Trump previously expressed interest in facilitating regime change in Iran, the current agreement — which is in effect for 60 days, but can be extended — says that won’t happen.

Trump mused on his negotiations with Iranians, crediting their “genius primitive culture” for helping them hammer out a fair deal, and insisted, again, that he had staved off war from a nuclear-armed Iran.

Trump also criticized Israel, saying the U.S. ally had a right to defend itself but that he believed they were at times too heavy-handed. Israel and the U.S. jointly launched strikes on Iran on Feb. 28. Since then, Israel has also fought the Iran-backed Hezbollah military group in Lebanon and seized large swaths of that country.

MAGA ally Mark Levin turns on Trump over Iran deal

 https://www.jpost.com/american-politics/article-899584

Right-wing Fox News host said Trump should publicize all the details of the recent deal between the US and Iran and claimed he's "controlling the narrative."

Fox News' major MAGA ally Mark Levin slammed US President Donald Trump over the Iran war peace deal, calling on the White House to release details of the accord’s Memorandum of Understanding.

Levin on X/Twitter wrote: “I have asked for days, why can’t we, the people, see the damn MoU? Not through people briefed by an anonymous person. Honestly, I’ve never seen anything like this. If it is a great outcome for peace, then release it.”

“In a period of two-months, Israel has gone from a great ally and partner in war, fighting by our side against a horrible enemy that has killed thousands of our people, killed tens of thousands of their own people, and was a dire nuclear threat intent on attacking us, to Israeli PM Netanyahu being a difficult person who should be thanking us for saving his country from Iran and should get our permission if he wants to defend his people from Hezbollah and Iran, and stand down when his country is attacked," Levin wrote.

Hawks lament ‘disaster’ on Iran as Trump strains to sell deal

An especially startling example came when Trump defended Iran’s right to maintain ballistic missiles — despite the fact that a prior U.S. and Israeli objective had been the destruction of this capacity.

“They have to have some because other people have some. You’ve got to have some,” Trump mused, referring to Iran’s position in relation to other Persian Gulf nations.

The president added that when unnamed advisers told him he needed to wholly eliminate the Iranian conventional arsenal, “I said, ‘Well, what am I going to do? Am I going to let Saudi Arabia have missiles but they can’t have them?’”

Ted Cruz slams Iran deal: Not a good idea to give millions to lunatics

 https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/428810

Senators Ted Cruz and Bill Cassidy condemn President Trump’s Iran deal, labeling its $300 billion fund a historic blunder.

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz expressed profound concern on Wednesday regarding what he views as massive American capitulations codified within President Donald Trump’s memorandum of understanding.

The newly unveiled framework prompted Cruz to issue a public warning that the commander-in-chief is being guided by deeply flawed counseling.

“History teaches that giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is not a good idea. I think the president is receiving some very poor advice on this deal," Cruz told The Hill.

Trump’s deal is a catastrophic capitulation to Iran’s aggressors, leaves Israel vulnerable and constrained

 https://www.timesofisrael.com/trumps-deal-is-a-catastrophic-capitulation-to-irans-aggressors-leaves-israel-vulnerable-and-constrained/

In the US president’s reality-challenged view, Israel is an ingrate and a warmonger, while Iran’s mass-murdering leaders are ‘very rational.’ They are indeed all too rational, and he, clearly, is not

Fast-forward three and a half months, and the US will on Friday formally sign a memorandum of understanding with Iran, already signed digitally long-distance, that resolves none of the goals of the war — none of the goals that Witkoff and Kushner attempted to resolve in their negotiated effort to avert the war.

According to a draft of the text obtained by The Times of Israel, CNN and Bloomberg on Wednesday, the 14-point MOU potentially grants the regime hundreds of billions of dollars — which it will doubtless utilize to help keep its restive population in line, to massively fund Hezbollah, Hamas and its other terrorist proxies, and to spend as needed on its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. (The White House said later Wednesday, without elaboration, that the draft text “does not reflect the language of the actual MOU.”)

Incredibly, the draft text of the MOU already rewards the regime for its intransigence: The draft document states that Iran’s “nuclear needs” will be addressed in those 60 days; the US negotiators apparently could not even persuade the regime to include the words “peaceful” or “civilian,” to at least keep up the pretense that it has legitimate nuclear requirements

Lawrence: Trump's describing his so-called Iran deal the only way he knows how. With nonstop lying.

Reacting to Scandal

 https://www.torahmusings.com/2010/12/reacting-to-scandal/      Dec 16, 2010

A new book by Dr. Daniel Eidensohn, Child & Domestic Abuse: Torah, Psychological, & Legal Perspectives, displays a different balance between thoughtful response and outrage. The first volume contains essays by an assortment of professionals — rabbis, psychologists, social workers, lawyers. Each, in his own way, lashes out at the community’s response to sexual abuse of children and attempts to explain the proper response according to the Torah and/or their professional training and experience.

Dr. Eidensohn writes that we will not change the attitude of our rabbinic leaders by providing Torah sources and arguments, even from someone as respected as R. Moshe Sternbuch, who advised Dr. Eidensohn on the publication and personally reviewed the Synopsis section. The only way to spark change is to dramatically describe victims’ pain. When community leaders recognize the extent of the problem and its effects, they will join the cause. “To the degree that the rabbis and community leaders can be convinced that abused children suffer horrible lifetime wounds, you will discover that the legal objections disappear” (p. 12). The same, I believe, applies to the problem of corrupt and unethical practices. When leaders realize how much this damages the community, how deeply this disrupts the basic functioning of our community, they will respond seriously.

Eidensohn’s first volume provides an interesting contrast to another recent book, Breaking the Silence: Sexual Abuse and the Jewish Community, edited by Dr. David Pelcovitz and David Mandel. This book also contains essays by rabbis, doctors and lawyers, and contains victims’ accounts of abuse and its aftermath. The experts writing in this book are top notch, many of whom are household names in the Orthodox community. They provide statistics, guidelines, and concrete advice. The book is edited and typeset in a much more professional way than Dr. Eideonsohn’s. It is nothing short of a communal guidebook for best practices.

Yet, Dr. Eidensohn’s book is what really makes me want to do something. It inspires the passion that is necessary to change our communal practices. It elicits the appropriate level of outrage. It is a J’accuse against the bumbling efforts of Jews unwilling to make hard choices to save our children, incapable of admitting mistake, and failing to learn from the collapse of the Catholic Church over precisely this issue.

These books, along with speeches and blogs, serve an important purpose. They alert the public to dangers and provide guidance on managing them. More importantly, they clearly confirm the existence of the problem, something our communal leaders have slowly done over the past decade only with great reluctance and after the application of tremendous pressure. These books demonstrate, not that any further proof was necessary, the disconnect between leadership and laity that has caused such great distrust. How can the leadership regain this trust?

Destroying a Nation's Angel

 Shemos Rabbah (21:05) When Pharaoh and the Egyptians began to pursue them, they raised their eyes heavenwards and saw the guardian angel of Egypt hovering in the air and became sore afraid, as it says, And they were sore afraid. What then is the meaning of And, behold, Mizraim was marching after them? Because the name of their guardian angel was Mizraim, and God does not cast down a nation before He destroys their guardian angel first.
