    Started? How geopolitically ignorant are you? A considerable portion of the IDF’s armaments (including over 100 fighter jets) during the Yom Kippur War were flown in from the US. This was seven years before Reagan. The entirety of Israel’s existence has just been the US and France dumping weapons. (Israel didn’t indigenously make it’s nuclear weapons, they came from France’s nuclear projects, just like how the Kfir wasn’t built using Israel’s non-existent aerospace industry).

      I quoted a source. If you don’t agree with it, quote another.

      And please don’t call me ignorant. It’s rude and uncalled for.

        “I quoted a source”

        I can smash on a keyboard and then write a citation to whatever nonsense comes. An intelligent person cross-references it with well established facts, and then decides if it’s probably true.

        The idea that US support for Israel started in the 80s is refuted by hundreds of data points in Israeli history.

        “It’s rude and uncalled for”

        It’s totally called for. You could literally have read the Wikipedia on history of modern Israel and seen that it was patently false.
