U.S. Congress the voice of American People or the Israel Lobby?

Is the U.S. Congress (the body that represents the will of the American public) so malleable to the Israeli Lobby, that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry actually said that a rejection of the nuclear deal with Iran by the U.S. Congress would put Israel at risk of being more isolated and more blamed.

Incredible.  We always thought this, but for Kerry to say this and make this connection is remarkable.  Why would the Israel be more isolated or blamed if the deal is not ratified by the U.S. Congress unless the U.S. congress was nothing more than a rubber stamp of the Israeli Lobby?

What a stunning, tacit admission.

Ignore the naysayers – a nuclear deal with Iran is close by SUSAN KHAZAELI

Some excellent points by Susan Khazaeli in her piece: Ignore the naysayers – a nuclear deal with Iran is close in today's Globe & Mail.  Key excerpt:

The P5+1 negotiators have been wrong to focus on centrifuges – not least because they are, in essence, dictating to Iran, but because it is the wrong metric of a good deal. Most non-proliferation and arms control experts are agreed that only verification can achieve the ultimate goal of preventing an Iranian nuclear weapon. For now, Iran’s facilities at Natanz and Fordow are subject to daily inspections. Under such scrutinous conditions, Iran is not liable to ‘break-out.’
