Original Note:
This alleged account is a widely debunked internet hoax from the 2008 campaign. Realtime records of the 1982 meeting documented a different account, with no such quote referenced. The statement was never documented anywhere, prior to its ‘08 fabrication on the internet. https://www.jta.org/archive/begin-claims-reagan-backs-israels-goals-in-lebanon https://www.nytimes.com/1982/06/23/nyregion/news-summary-wednesday-june-23-1982.html https://www.nytimes.com/1982/06/23/us/mood-is-angry-as-begin-meets-panel-of-senate.html
