Why should America care what Israel thinks when it comes to Iran?

I'm watching CNN right now and they're so focused on the Israeli reaction. As if Israeli disapproval means it's a bad deal.

Please.

Israel is just another country and they aren't even on the Security Council. This deal does not involve them. They should be ignored.

But we shouldn't let their disapproval outweigh the potential benefits of an agreement.

Why do you think Israel exists or where they have gotten their military might?

I believe Obama/Kerry can truly bring an end to the Mideast conflict. At least the major sticking points, such as Israel's land grabs and the war-mongering from both sides.
