Anti-Semites But Not Homicidal
Yes, in secret recordings, Nixon expressed frankly anti-Semitic views. But during the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Israel was almost destroyed. They were down to a few days of anti-tank ammunition, and desperately needed resupply. The Defense Department and Secretary of State Kissinger dithered, trying to find a civilian airline to carry the needed supplies.

Finally Nixon lost patience and ordered the USAF to do what was necessary. They did, as usual. In their autobiographies, both Golda Meir and Moshe Dayan state that Nixon saved Israel.

This reminds me of the anti-Semite who saved many Jews during the Holocaust. They asked him why. He replied, “I don’t like Jews, but I don’t want to kill them.” This man and Nixon differ from many modern anti-Semites, who DO want to kill the Jews. Just read the posts on X.
