Heard a story once maybe it was here on FR: when Israel was on the ropes at the start of the Yom Kippur war they had jets idling on the runway with armed nukes ready to fly.

Tom Clancy based a novel on that.

Richard Nixon’s finest hour.

I saw an interview with him. He said he sat on the edge of the bed, listening to Golda Meir (IIRC) and remembered back when his mother said someday he’d have to help the Jews. And that’s when he decided to airlift military equipment to them.

October, 1973.

The Arabs made sure America paid for that action with the Arab Oil Embargo.

Their restraint is nothing short of amazing.
They really do not want to have to harm anyone and they are surround by savages . It disgusting how the world sides with the savages .
