Peloni: It is as if Trump was unaware that the Mullahs were never going to keep the peace, or expectant that Israel would ignore the casualties which were associated with these treaty violations. Israel should maintain a vigilance with Iran as it has done with Lebanon. Violations, particularly significant violations, must be met with a penalizing response. Just what might Pres. Trump do if an Iranian ballistic missile should find its way to the center of New York City? He would do what was expected of him as the leader of the American people, and punitively punish those who purposefully fired that missile, and he would be right to do so. Israel should have no more restraint placed upon them while responding to such intended tragedies than any other nation, and no other nation would be expected to do less than respond. In fact, it would be a moral, strategic and political act of betrayal by anyone who failed to respond to such an obvious war crime. The objective of peace should not be simply the absence of war by one side or the other, but the expectation of reciprocal responses to violations as the occur as the minimum foundational basis of any cessation of hostilities. Failing to employ such a standard as Trump is now demanding would require Israel to surrender, when in fact the war with Iran has always been a defensive war, placing the greater onus of any ending of hostilities on Iran, not Israel.

All one can do is watch this man, there’s just no telling which way he will go and what he will do next. Being unpredictable can be an advantage in international diplomacy, but the man isn’t even making clear which side he is on.
Outrageous betrayal by Trump. Unforgivable. Also by Dershowitz, if he supports this appeasement. The Iranian theocracy must go if there is to be peace. The theocratic Shiite regime is not willing to live in peace with the non-Muslim and even the SUNNI Muslim world.
@Adam D. Dershowitz has been calling for bombing Iran and eliminating this regime for a long time. I follow his podcast. It’s terrific. He has said nothing about the ceasefire, as of yet, to my knowledge. His podcast is only 3 days a week. He left the Democratic party, by the way. In this podcast, he is addressing AOC’s call for impeachment for his having used military force without Congress declaring war. He is a constitional scholar. Nobody will notice that you said “if.” You should actually listen to,people before you attack them. Otherwise, it automatically discredits anything you might have to say, apart from personal anecdotes. Watch the podcast.

AOC announced she wants to impeach him for using military force without consulting Congress.
