The new supply of needed weaponry helped to turn around the war in Israel's favor by the third week. Had Israel's leaders listened to the warnings of their Intelligence, they would not have been caught with their pants down when the Egyptians and Syrians attacked Israel in 1973.. The unnecessary deaths of soldiers and pilots and the destruction of Israel's Jet Fighters by SAMs, and other armaments would have been averted. Nixon learned to respect and admire the Jews from his Godly Judeo-Christian mother who taught him the Bible when he was a child. Years later, history would demonstrate his devotion to the Jewish nation because Nixon knew the GOD of Israel.

To my mind he was the greatest President .From China Policy to 73 War.He was hounded out of office. A great man remembered fondly!

Nixon did not save Israel's butt, he saved America's butt, and rightly so. If he wanted to save Israel, he would have forced the Egyptians to abide by the cease-fire agreement and then there would never have been a war. Instead, he believed it when Kissinger said it would be good for America to have a war. At the end, he was faced with a choice: let the Soviets keep arming the Egyptians while Israel runs out of ammo, leading to Israeli panic, use of nukes and then a Soviet counterstrike or he could help Israel, and then sell Israel out to the Egyptians. That's what he did.

The USSR was very close to going to war against Israel alongside Syria and Egypt. Nixon warned Brezhnev that if they did so, the US would nuke them. Nixon also authorized a lot of weapons and supplies be sent to Israel at a time when Europe and the rest of the world would were cutting their ties with Israel. Nixon was a good friend of Israel and his foreign policy was very sound.

G-D, the Creator does the choosing, not man! Although the Jews are an incredibly tiny percentage of people upon the earth, Jews have given the world so many breakthroughs in medicine, science, computer technology. Agriculture-transforming desert and swamp into rich, agricultural land and teaching other nations how to do this, etc. etc. It is a fulfillment of the Bible, where we are told that through the Jews, all nations would be blessed. It is through the Jews we have G-D's Laws, upon which our civilization is based as: YOU SHALL NOT MURDER You shall not steal You shall not bear false witness (lie) Thank G-D for our Wonderful, Precious and Merciful G-D, and thank G-D for Jews! I love our civilization of justice, freedom and human rights!

That supply didn't save Israel, it came too late. The first 2 days is what really mattered and he didn't agree to let Israel strike first, that would eventually lead to thousands of deaths on both Israeli and Arab side that could have been prevented if Israel could finish the war on the first few days by attacking first.

In his private life, Nixon may have slandered Jews. However, some Jews say Nixon treated them with great courtesy. Regardless, deeds matter infinitely more than words. Nixon's airlift of supplies to Israel in 1973 played an important role in Israel winning the war. I have no confidence whatsoever that Obama would do the same. I far prefer someone who may slander Jews in private but help Israel when it counts over hypocrites, who say nice things about Jews in public, but fight us on all our vital issues.

The evidence shows that you are wrong. Why should Israel seek permission from any country to defend herself against belligerent countries hellbent on her destruction? Israel is a sovereign nation that has all the rights in defending herself against external forces aiming to attack her.

I was in Israel during the 73' War. Wasn't in the military, just a civilian job. Remember very clearly the feeling to see United States Air Force supply planes flying low over Tel Aviv every 20 minutes. Have to give Nixon cedit for this, he did this against the pressure from Kissinger and the State Department, to let Israel 'bleed' some more. Of course his slander against racial and ethnic and religious groups were inexcusable. But actions do speak louder than words. BTW Nixon was a major supporter of affirmative action.

mention Egyptian 3rd Army in such context. Why would Egypt need Israeli controlled territory to supply its army unless you are talking about the time when Egyptian 3rd Army was already encircled and demoralized and supplies were not weapons, but food and water. If that is the case I do not think there is anything wrong with that nor there was any danger to Israel. On the contrary it did not cost Israel anything, but made it look good in light of this humanitarian gesture.

Yom Kippur war is the fact. Nixon's motives are speculation. Besides, just like I said before, who care about motives. Nixon helped and that is all that matters.

The Soviet Union had sent nuclear arms and missiles to Egypt. Any use of nuclear bombs by Israel on Egypt and Syria would have provoked retaliation by Russian nuclear weapons that had been placed in Egypt. Officers of the Strategic Rocket Forces were sent to Egypt. Any use of nuclear bombs by Israel on Egypt and Syria would have provoked retaliation by Russian nuclear weapons that had been placed in Egypt. Kissinger persuaded Meir not to fly to the US for begging or blackmailing Pres. Nixon. Shortly later, American intelligence had signs that Israel had put its Jericho missiles, which could be fitted with nuclear warheads, on high alert. Israel blackmailed the USA by threatening to nuke civilian populations of Cairo and Damascus. within three days a tremendous United States airlift to Israel was in action.

I can bet we wouldnt like it

And it will never be the concern if the United States in the existential threats to Jewish survival as a people.

after reading the New Testament, do you still believe that Jesus is the fake Messiah?

These remarks are stupid and just as stereotypical about Nixon as he intended them to be about Jews, Irish and Italian. I don't consider this to be hate speech -- there was probably worse from Kissinger -- but just the ramblings of an ignoramus who had probably downed half a bottle of Cutty Sark.

Im not a jew ,but i have a jewish friend who is a beliver in Yeshua from Haifa that lives in Norway,and he has helped me soooo much in life so im very thankful to him.I love the jews

Unlike Nixon, Obama says he's our friend, then stabs us in the back: In the 1990's, Obama raised money for Palestinian causes. In 2002, he blamed "Perle and Wolfowitz" for shoving their "ideological agenda down our throat" and said (after Saddam Hussein sent scud missiles into Tel Aviv and invaded Kuwait), that Saddam was not a threat to his neighbors. In 2004, he criticized Israel's security barrier. In 2007-8 he said, "Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people" and called Israel a "constant sore" that "does infect all of our foreign policy." Obama told Jewish voters he supported an undivided Jerusalem - then quickly retracted his statement. In 2009-present, Obama has been on a relentless campaign to topple Netanyahu's government with his building freeze, the Free Gaza flotillas (orchestrated by his friends) and with threats to withdraw US support for Israel at the UN.

Read Connor Cruise O'Brien's book the Siege then talk. Kissinger was no friend of the Jews and he LET THEM BLEED in 1973!

The man is a dead anti-semite. Let's worry about the living ones.

This is the reason Israel was created because the Jewish were always conidered outsiders no matter how hard they tried to be accepted, Its to bad they didnt finish off the Arabs when they had the chance in the various wars that were waged

Remember Watergate ---- Mr. Nixon --- Even the Mighty fall.............

TOO MANY EVIL PEOPLE SEEM TO ALWAYS BE READY TO GIVE OUR LEADERS (BE THEY BAD OR GOOD) ADVICE ON HOW TO TREAT OTHERS ACCORDING TO PERSONAL FEELINGS. KNOW ME BY MY ACTIONS , HOW I HELP OTHERS, BECAUSE I AM NOT WHAT YOU CALL ME ,IAM WHAT I ANSWER TO! ISRAEL WILL LIVE FOREVER BECAUSE THEY FOLLOW A TRUE G_D .
