    Why does that bullshit about Reagan keep popping up?

    First of all, that was prior to the start of the Israel-Iran proxy conflict in 1985, that is still occurring today. He later set the precedent of support in the conflict that you’re protesting right now.

    Secondly, when Reagan cut back foreign aid from Israel, he subsequently 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.
