Local comments about Reagan"As I recall, relations with the Jewish community were good. He appeared to have a genuine commitment to the survival of Israel and he knew enough about the Middle East that he felt he wanted to commit troops there to Lebanon."Joel Breshin Associate Director Anti-Defamation League "Reagan was really a very good friend of Israel and he was the first president that ever characterized and stated publicly that Israel was an ally of the United States. When he was questioned about a homeland for the Palestinians, he said, 'I thought Jordan was their homeland.'" Eugene Schupak AIPAC National Board of Directors |
