"We are not blind, and I don't think we are stupid," said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in response to fierce Israeli criticism after the first round of talks about Iran's nuclear program earlier this month failed to reach a deal.
Now the deal is done, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is even harsher in his condemnation of Kerry's handiwork.
"Israel has many friends and allies," said Netanyahu, "but when they're mistaken, it's my duty to speak out. ... What was achieved last night (Nov. 24) in Geneva is not a historic agreement; it was a historic mistake. Today the world has become a much more dangerous place because the most dangerous regime in the world took a significant step toward obtaining the world's most dangerous weapon."
