      Israel spends a lot of its money dealing with the constant threat from Iran and its proxies (Hamas, Hezbollah etc) so if future Iran becomes friendly to Israel (or at least, not hostile), it will be huge net positive for Israel.

      This is insane. The country is receiving missiles from Iran and it appreciates? Either people are fanatics or someone with a lot of money is manipulating it higher.

      Coaxing Americans into dying for you while you drain their country dry is bullish.

      Calls on Israel
