Nixon saved Israel, Golda Meir said as much.

Nixon was a much greater President than history shows. Watergate was all B.S. as much as this current B.S. with Trump.

Nixon was a superb American - and the Left took him down.

Like they’re trying to do now with our President.

"Nixon ordered the airlift, saying, “We are going to get blamed just as much for three planes as for three hundred,” and later in exasperation at the slow start of US support, said “Use every [plane] we have—everything that will fly.”" 

Nixon's stepping down from office had scared China and the USSR. The most powerful man in the world being removed from office without violence.

He sure did!
Golda and Mosha Dayan got intelligence from the USA that something was building on the Egyptian boarder in early ‘73.
It was ignored and laughed off because of Israel’s success in ‘68.

Egypt was supplied with wire guided anti-tank missiles and SAMs.
It was a big surprise to Israel and they nearly lost the ‘73 war.

Only Nixon’s re-supply after ‘73 war saved Israel from collapse.
