The United States did much more than airlift supplies during the Yom Kippur war. President Nixon laid everything on the line at that time to support Israel.
This is very true. I was only 12 at the time, but I lived 20 miles from McGuire AFB, and the ground started shaking and the windows rattling from all of the C-5As and C-141s taking off for Israel. I remember VERY well the worldwide alert of all US forces when Brezhnev "offered" to send several Soviet airborne divisions as "peacemakers" to stand between Israel and Syria. Nixon did, indeed, stand for Israel as well as this country's interests, and as someone who cares deeply about Israel I will never forget that - regardless of Nixon's personal feelings and foibles.
What disturbs me is why so many of my co-religionists cannot accept the fact that it was a Republican President that actually did more for Israel by way of actions than all Democrat Presidents did, combined, through their bloated rhetoric. These people have swallowed the liberal Kool-Aid, something that I find unacceptable from people that are supposed to be intelligent.
