Carter and Reagan didn’t have Russia, China and Iran spreading talking points to pressure the US to stop supporting Israel.
If your enemies are trying to pressuring you to do something, it’s normal to resist that pressure while you try to figure out what they are up to.
That's a pretty weak argument, nearly every state is calling for an end to genocide.
What talking points these entities have been spreading this time? I haven't heard any tangible thing from neither Russia nor China, that would warrant an unconditional support for Israel by the US. Only Iran has been notably active in this matter, but even that is via proxies and not directly towards Israel's land integrity. US could just simply anchor their carrier strikes groups and no other action would be needed. How does that justify giving out tonnes of heavy destruction bombs to Israel?
