Individuals, not governments, that chose to stand with Israel. Does that invalidate my statement? I don’t think so. We’ll have to agree to disagree.
America as a Nation has stood with Israel more than one time in spite of events like the Liberty. American Patriot Missle Crews were parked in Israel not that long ago..
“Precise details of what transpired in Washington during the first week of the Yom Kippur War, launched by Egypt and Syria on October 6, 1973, are hard to come by, in no small measure owing to conflicting accounts given by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger regarding their respective roles.
What is clear, from the preponderance of information provided by those directly involved in the unfolding events, is that President Richard Nixon — overriding inter-administration objections and bureaucratic inertia — implemented a breathtaking transfer of arms, code-named Operation Nickel Grass, that over a four-week period involved hundreds of jumbo U.S. military aircraft delivering more than 22,000 tons of armaments. ?
I suspect we want the same thing to restore our Republic and by lawful political and social means stop liberal sacks of crap from distroying the nation..
I also suspect we both want and support Israel beating the crap out of the Islamofacists who blow themselves up murdering Teenagers in a Pizza Parlor or prance around in glee as they gun down three little blond haired Girls and their Mother on their way down the road from one Kibbutz to another.

“as for Meir herself, to the end of her life she referred to Nixon as “my president” and told a group of Jewish leaders in Washington shortly after the war: “For generations to come, all will be told of the miracle of the immense planes from the United States bringing in the materiel that meant life to our people.”
Maybe you just did not get the memo.
