My Official Opinion of the Iran Deal

What? How should I know?!

Like everyone else, I didn’t read it (it’s probably too long, anyway).

Sure, I know the platitudes:

  • Israel’s hankering for protection from Uncle Mitzrayim is a Chillul Hashem and an awful strategy. (Feiglin)
  • People do what is in their perceived interest, including political people.
  • Neocons are XYZ.
  • Many people are antisemitic (and definitely think Israel = Jews).
  • Hashem controls לב מלכים ושרים (the elite).
  • And so on and so forth.

But to think thoroughly ignorant third parties know which treaty is likely best for whom when – especially without access to most facts – is presumptuous arrogance.

Actually, the fact countless people do have an opinion tells me how to view their views on other questions…

Enough said.
