Ron Paul: Israel is Our Close Friend

[ClydeCoulter]

The media will have a field day when they see a growing number of Ron Paul supporters becoming anti-Israel and with some even crossing into anti-semitism.

Define "anti-semitism" (as you are using it).

If that fake image concerns you why do you keep picking fights about this?

The problem as I see it, is that we have already armed Israel "to the teeth", maybe we should be somewhat responsible about that. It's all fair and well for Israeli supporters to want to "stay out of their business" after giving them the upper hand.

Very true. Never forget, 'they' hate us for our freedom.

And, I understand why many Christians support Israel. They don't understand that the state of Israel has nothing whatsoever to do with the Israel mentioned in the bible, reguardless of whether any of that in the bible is true or not.

This annoys me to no end. Supposed christians all the more willing to send someone else's kids to die for a country of supposed 'chosen people.' That's the thing that gets me. Chickenhawks have no problem drumming up support for these illegal wars.

As sailingaway said in one of her posts I am getting impatient. I have nothing against the people of Israel, as a collective, but this idea that they should have our unwaivering support is fucking sickening. Even members here seem to feel we are justified or even obligated to defend Israel when they do the kind of shit they do. I'm getting tired of this. And I am not of the politically correct, fear of being branded, republicrats. Soon it will be simply 'f*** Israel' whenever the topic arrives.

Sad day on RPF when people are unaware of the war crimes that that State has committed, the problems they have created, and the shit they constantly stir.

Someone needs to defend Israel, especially since Ron Paul is supportive of Israel.

You aren't defending it, you are setting it up as a punching bag, the way you bait people.

Or they just think that it's none of our business, since part of non interventionism is staying out of the internal affairs of other nations.

Supportive of them leaving our politics the fuck alone, and supportive in the sense of them being independent. Spin it how you wish, Israel would be better off because of this.

I am supportive of Israel as well. [them being independent]

Traditional Conservative- Kind of like the holocaust?

I still fail to understand how one atrocity being committed against a certain group of people is relevant to their government committing atrocities against another group of people. Or rather, how that excuses it, as you defensively seemed to suggest.

I don't accept the premise of your statement that Israel has committed "atrocities" against anyone.
