Is this true? It doesn't sound consistent with the Ron Paul approach of non-interventionism. I think Horowitz is mischaracterizing Ron's position, so as to strengthen his contention that Ron is anti-semetic.
Excerpt taken from David Horowitz's blog:
Rand Paul has expressed opposition to the Patriot Act, has supported the cutting of military spending, has endorsed the shutting down of GITMO and has called for the banning of harsh interrogation of Muslim terrorists. His father (“the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” theory), Ron Paul, wants to end all foreign aid to Israel and see the United States sever its alliance with Israel. He has gone so far as to denounce the pro-Israel lobby on Capitol Hill, but NOT the Saudi lobby. The elder Paul is a staunch critic of military action against Iran.
