Dwight Eisenhower, had to get the Sinai and the canal back for our Egyptian allies. And now it's a priority to get a state for our palestinian allies.
Sorry you have such a problem with Israel, oh well. Do you have anything to add to the topic of the thread?
Peter Golden in his "authorized biography" of Max M. Fisher "Quiet Diplomat" (1992) relates that in October 1965 Fisher met with President Eisenhower in Gettysburg to get agreement to accept the U.J.A. medal for his role in the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps twenty years earlier. French General Pierre Keonig leader of the French Resistance and British Field Marshall Alexander were also to be honored. Golden reports that toward the end of the visit Eisenhower "wistfully commented 'You know, Max, looking back at Suez, I regret what I did. I never should have pressured Israel to evacuate the Sinai'" (all references are to pages xvii and xvix).
Maybe the Israeli's were pissed to be fighting over the same territory we forced them to give back once before. Our 'existing relationship' before Jimminy Carter started shovelling the Middle East our money and getting terrorists in return was to tell Israel what to do?
And now it's a priority to get a state for our palestinian allies.
The 'allies' that danced in the streets and passed out candy on 9/11? It be funny if it wasn't my money and my friends being wasted on that craphole called the Middle East.
