It is true that from an Israeli point of view the worst US president was Eisenhower, and George Bush Sr (with James Baker) was pretty bad too. But let’s not forget the antisemite Carter, who twisted Begin’s arm to agree to the disastrous Camp David treaty, which is the root of most of our problems today. Bush Jr, for all his misunderstanding and mishandling of Israel, genuinely loved it and thought he was doing the best for it. And Nixon saved Israel, whatever else he did.

how can you not correct this article. it is NOT an editorial by the Chief of the Mossad during the Bush administration.

By censoring the true nature this article- an article that is the most important article regarding the safety of Israel maybe in all of history ( biderech hateva)- you are damaging the Klal Yisroel.

OK, we are supposed to discuss what the country and world will be like in 2016:

The Congress spends well beyond any meaningful hope of getting revenue. They try to raise taxes but it has a negligible effect of revenue since the higher taxes depress economic activity. The Treasury loses the ability to find conventional buyers for its bonds at low interest rates, so interest rise back to the levels of the recent past. The “bill” comes due from the printing press and we get serious inflation (think of what happened in Israel the previous generation). Most of the Democrats policies, for good or ill, fall apart due to the economic disintegration. Next election will be between extremists (real socialists on the left, people who make the Tea Party look like wobblies on the right).

#5 It’s very noteworthy for YWN to let me (and others like me who don’t read it) in on the distortions and lies being perpetuated in the NYT.

Typical NYT… Let’s assume for argument’s sake that ALL prior republican presidents were rabid anti-semites and conversely every democrat was great for Israel. FACT NOW IS, Barack Obama YM”S is the one who skipped israel NOT Mitt Romney; Obama stated “daylight between us n israel” NOT Romney; Obama that snubbed Bibby NOT Romney. I wonder if the writer asked Bibby HIS opinion, HIS feelings on the matter, or any other jew for that matter. Most telling about the article is the very essence of it. I, as a jewish voter, don’t need a comprehensive history lesson to know who my friends are and who my enemys are.

Sirs, please quote the NYT in print editions only. Online doesn’t help me care for my puppy.

” a desire to see Israel bleed a little.”
you’re quoting Kissinger, the assililated, liberal, self-hating guy with uprooted Jewish roots (won’t call him Jewish) was a Democrat and a professor at Harvard.
Nixon, the goy, supplied Israel with the weaponry necessary.

Rather have Nixon than Kissinger or DNC loser, Debbie “expert on anything Jewish,” any day.

While I think these points are valid for what they are worth, I think it’s more important to look at what happened on the ground, when things count, like Mark Levin’s examples.

This article was written by a former Mossad chief and a scurity expert who seems to know what he is talking about.
I remember these events includind the 1956 Suez crises, and the account here is accurate.
Despite Nixon’s eventual re-arming of Issrael, henry Kissinger justified his foot dragging at the time as ” a desire to see Israel bleed a little.”

its seems that YWN is rooting for the wrong side. I don’t think your readers agree with you on this one. clinton was awful to the jewish state, and carter continues to be. why was this article put up? Can’t YWN write their own stuff, or is this a cut and paste “news” site????
