Eisenhower took an even-handed approach to Israel and the Palestinians.
Nixon ruled out any war over the Soviet Union’s treatment of its Zionist dissidents, who have turned out to have been just as unpleasant in their own way as were many other categories of those who happened to dissent from the Soviet regime, and who now constitute a significant obstacle to peace in the Middle East, where they are busily engaged in denaturalising both the indigenous Christians and the ultra-Orthodox Jews. Reagan withdrew from Lebanon in 1983.
James Baker called on Israel to “lay aside, once and for all, the unrealistic vision of a Greater Israel” in order to “foreswear annexation, stop settlement activity”.
Everyone who believes in this cause should be registered as a Republican in this cycle, in order to vote for Ron Paul and thus force Barack Obama fully into line with it. By no means only in Iowa. But starting there.
