You are dead wrong Muck. Sinai Penninsula was never part of the BMOP, and the whole of the SP was never part of Eretz Israel. Israel occupied it after 1967 only for purposes of it's security. It was the least important of it's acquisitions -- historically, geographically, and with respect to security -- so much so it was unimportant enough for Menachem Begin to give back to Egypt.
You're joking right ?
Sinai was the worst land give away.
Sinai was vital to Israel's security.
It provided Israel with strategic depth.
It had the world's best air bases.
It had vital oil resources.
The giveaway and ethnic cleansing of Yamit was a tragedy and a stain on Israel's history.
I loved Menachim Begin and still think he was a great man, but this was a terrible mistake. Not only for Israel but for the USA. Besides Israel losing everything mentioned above, the USA wound up paying Egypt billions of dollars every year, in what amounts to jizya, and re-arming it's military forces with some of the world's most advanced weaponry.
Nice try at revising history, but the Sinai giveaway was Israel's biggest mistake to date, and it happened during the scumbag Carter's watch.
Now, let's look at the Reagan statement you posted---Here are the crucial paragraphs;
Beyond the transition period, as we look to the future of the West Bank and Gaza, it is clear to me that peace cannot be achieved by the formation of an independent PLO/Hamas Arab Muslim Nazi state in those territories. Nor is it achievable on the basis of Israeli sovereignty or permanent control over the West Bank and Gaza.
So the United States will not support the establishment of an independent PLO/Hamas Arab Muslim Nazi state in the West Bank and Gaza, and we will not support annexation or permanent control by Israel.
There is, however, another way to peace. The final status of these lands must, of course, be reached through the give-and-take of negotiations; but it is the firm view of the United States that self-government by the PLO/Hamas Arab Muslim Nazis of the West Bank and Gaza in association with Jordan offers the best chance for a durable, just and lasting peace.
So as we can clearly see, at that point in time the USA did not support the
establishment of an independent paleostinkian state. Rather, the idea was to rid Israel of the responsibility of governing over the mooozie savages and pass that responsibility to Jordan.
Now of course, even this is a ridiculous pipe dream -- as only the Kahanist solution will actually work---but the actual nuts and bolts transfer of power over the 'west bank' to Arafat's henchmen didn't take place until the assclown Rabin shook hands with the AIDS ridden mass murderer on the White House lawn with Emperor Clintonius looking on.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have any delusions about the Republican party or a monolithic faith in them to do the right thing and not pressure Israel to give away it's birthright. But to claim the 'greatest' land giveaways happened during the watch of Republican presidents is flat out wrong.
And as things stand right now on the USA political horizon, the Republican party with it's evangelical Christian base still offers a greater hope that future give aways can be prevented compared to that presented by the Dhimmirats and the likes of Osama Obama.
Either way, Dhimmirat or Republican, things don't look good, and ultimately it's going to take Kahanist leadership in Israel to say 'No!' to the USA, the UN, and the world. Then, and only then, will Israel stop chasing an unattainable peace and quit making suicidal concessions to an implacable enemy.
