Mirengoff Claims Mr. Biden Is No Friend To Israel. Did He Say The Same, Of Ronald Reagan?!

So… all of this “fainting couch” crap is truly getting tedious — now, from all the boys, on the topic.

But tonight’s from Paul is singularly… insipid. He thinks Bibi ought to go it alone — and ignore both international law and treaties between our two nations… in pursuit of “eradication” of… Hamas (by which he actually means… all of Gaza — excepting only the provable Jews there).

But forever (at least since 1999), he and John and Steve have held Ronnie in sainted grace, for all matters then-international — but especially his deft touch with Israel. At the time (the early Summer of 1982) there was an ongoing hot war / invasion of Lebanon underway. By Israel.

And what did Sainted Ronnie… do? [Let us now listen in, forty two years, on.]

On July 20, 1982 — this was the story the Washington Post ran, on it:

… President Reagan decided yesterday to halt a new shipment of cluster-type artillery shells to Israel while reviewing whether Israeli use of similar American-supplied cluster bombs in the invasion of Lebanon violated U.S. arms export laws and other special agreements with Israel.

Deputy White House press secretary Larry Speakes said “there will be no shipment of artillery projectiles or other cluster-bomb unit-related materials” until the interagency review under way is completed….

Damn, Paul. Just… damn. You used to believe in obeying rules of engagement. For us, and Israel. But now… you just want… death. Death, for children in Gaza.

Pull your head out of your… wrinkly hindparts.

Out.
