Israel invaded Lebanon in 1978. Carter describes what happened next in "The Blood of Abraham": The US notified Israeli Prime Minister Begin we were going to cut off all military aid to Israel & present a resolution condemning it at the UN. Begin immediately said: "It's over."
Israelis have always been craven worms, their history is just a constant cycle of seeing how many atrocities they can get away with until the threat of being whipped like dogs by the international community rears its head.
Didn’t they invade again, led by Ariel Sharon, early ‘80s, and Reagan took a different tack, then sent Marines to Beirut, where their barracks were bombed?
