Is this supposed to be a list of all the greatest presidents or just the greatest within peoples lifetimes?
As per the original post, “…post-WWII Presidents…”
volvie–
Eisenhower was the only president to actually threaten Israel.
Carter has become an apologist for Arab terror, but he wasn’t this way while in office.
Truman and Nixon were the presidents who helped Israel at the time it was in the greatest danger. Ironically, they were both anti-Semites personally.
I would put Bush II before Reagan.
In 1981, the U.S. joined the rest of the world in condemning Israel’s raid that destroyed Iraq’s nuclear reactor.
Bush II regularly defended Israel in the U.N., including against the Goldstone report.
