Bro my sides people actually linking Biden gaslighting as if it means anything.
Biden just gave Netanyahu 26 Billion dollars to commit Genocide in Rafah with. This Ethnic Cleansing is fully Genocide Joe approved.
I'm not saying he's in the right, I'm just directly comparing the current PM of Israel with the guy from your Regan quote. It's not the same situation: Netanyahu, sadly, is being encouraged to continue on his path, and nothing will change until he's ousted.
It's exactly the same situation.
Netanyahu is no different from his predecessors. The only difference is how far the American president lets them do Genocide unconditionally.
The reality of global geopolitics stands as evidence against your assertion being correct. It's similar, that's true enough, but there are some key differences:
Back then, the six-day-war was fresh, Israel and its allies had proven Israel couldn't be easily destroyed, and Israel learned it is vulnerable. Lots of local opposition to its actions in Egypt and Lebanon.
Today: Israel is in a much better defensive position, and is actively the aggressor with little pretense. Lots of local support for a very aggressive PM that is hell bent on openly killing all the Palestinians.
It's very worse, and very different today.
