Israel policy and the Vietnam parallel in 1967 debates
William F Buckley Jr argues that liberal calls for retreat in Southeast Asia gave way to support for Israeli involvement in the Middle East during the 1967 war. He contrasts McGovern and Galbraith with Israel’s security stance, warns of Vietnamization effects, and links Jewish political backing to a pledge of Israeli independence amid a changing U.S. role. He notes Johnson and Humphrey’s Vietnam commitments and questions whether McGovern’s policy would pull the U.S. out of the Middle East, leaving Israel to face threats alone.
