    Why does that bullshit about Reagan keep popping up?

    That occurred prior to the start of the Israel-Iran proxy conflict in 1985, when Reagan set the precedent of support in the same conflict that you’re protesting right now.

    When he cut back foreign aid to Israel, prior to the conflict, Reagan then provided military aid under the express agreement that they use it to attack Lebanon.

    He wasn’t “being tough” on Israel. He was telling them where to point their weapons.
