The Ghosts of Lebanon
To see what lies ahead in Gaza, look back to Israel’s 1982 invasion.
Hasnain says:
When you realize even Reagan showed more moral fortitude than Biden (and Bernie), you have to stop and think. Learnt a lot of history from this one.
“In July 1982, the White House halted shipments of cluster munitions to Israel, declaring that the Israelis had violated arms agreements not to use these weapons on civilian areas. After a particularly deadly IDF barrage launched during the Siege of Beirut, Reagan called Begin and demanded the IDF stop the shelling. To do so, he used deeply emotional terms. “Here, on our television, night after night, our people are being shown the symbols of this war, and it is a holocaust,” Reagan said. In April 1983, he told the public his administration had halted F-16 sales to Israel and said they would not resume until the state withdrew from Lebanon.”
