Ron Paul: Israel is Our Close Friend

[YumYum]

Absolutely false. The Israelis would not wipe out the Arabs/Persians given the choice. That is what seperates them. As soon as we pull out of Iran and Afghanistan, they will fall. There will be more killing than those countries saw while the US was there.

The Israeli government would wipe out the Palestinians if they could. Does that count? Also, Israel's game is stealing land. They took Golan Heights because the Syrians had an advantage from a high position to attack Israel. Now, the Israelis are claiming that they cannot return the land they stole in the West Bank because it would allow the Palestinians to fire rockets at Israelis from a much shorter distance. Steal land, then claim it is done in the name of "national security". Cram all the Palestinians into Gaza and then poison them. If the Israelis can treat their neighbors this way, what would prevent them from treating anybody and everybody this way if it is to their benefit?

My priorities for selecting a candidate: Cut the debt, repeal Obama care and support of Israel. This website has Ron Paul's name on it. I can not support a candidate that allows this antisemitic dribble. Who are our friends in the Middle East? Hezbollah, Hamas or maybe the muslim brotherhood? Israel is our only friend in the Middle East and the only one that deserves our help and compassion.

Mr. Davis, Ron Paul has nothing to do with this website, and never has. It was started by a grassroots supporter before the last election.

Ron Paul's message of peace, liberty and prosperity attracts supporters from across the political spectrum and I can assure you that forum members often do not agree on a variety of things.

Dr. Paul's stance is that the U.S. government should not be giving foreign aid to any country. This is in keeping with the stance of our Founding Fathers. Read George Washington's Farewell Address where he warned us not to entangle alliances.

Are you sure that our current foreign policy is beneficial to Israel? Think about it for a minute, the way it stands now, the U.S. government gives aid to Israel and also to Israel's enemies. To keep getting that aid, Israel has to ask our government's permission before they defend themselves. How is this in Israel's best interest?

Dr. Paul wants Israel to be able to act in their own self-interest and make those decisions for themselves what they need to do to defend her. In addition, nothing is stopping any and all U.S. citizens, such as yourself, to send your own money to Israel.

If you stop and think about it sir, I think you will see that Dr. Paul is much more of a friend to Israel than those who have and are arming her enemies and forcing Israel to ask permission before they defend their own country.

In the end, the United States and Israel are two separate countries and the U.S. government's duty has to be to the United States.

Again, Israel would not wipe out Palestinians. They didn't steal the land. They won it after they were attacked by the Syrians. "Cram them into to Gaza and Poison them" Give me a break. The Palistinians don't want peace. They get back what they earn.

LibertyEagle, I'm in agreement with you.

Israel is the only democracy in the the Middle East

have you been folowing the news lately?

and what difference does Israel being a democracy make? Apartheid South Africa was ahead of most of it's neighbors in many ways and more "Western". It's a property issue. The arabs who had been there for the preceding 18 CENTURIES never agreed to zionism.

Ron Paul says we should not take sides in Israel's wars and we get blowback for supporting Israel. He goes on to say Palestinians are living in concentration camp like conditions and mostly unarmed facing a strong Israeli military. Ron Paul says American weapons and funds are being used in Israel's killing of Palestinians and US has moral responsibility.





If that is supporting Israel, whole America should be Israel's supporter.

I think it's kind of like saying "I have a lot of gay friends..." before making a joke bashing gays. It may or may not be true, but you gotta cover your ass (strange unintended pun) in today's world.

exactly!!!! Nice analogy!
