Netanyahu tells Congress that Israel doesn't need America's protection. That they can take care of themselves. Ron Paul says the exact same thing, and he is labeled anti-Israel?
RP respects the fact that each nation has it's own internal problems that have nothing to do woth the US and we need to face the fact that we are not going to continue to be the worlds policeman.
What is there to say? Ron Paul respects Israel as a sovereign nation just as Paul supports America as a sovereign nation.
Also, as the video says, Zionism, whether you like it or not calls for two virtues: Independence and Self reliance. Foreign aid would therefore be an insult to your ally.
So really, he's the only candidate even remotely pro-israel.
Israel has holy sites but its acts are not always holy nor are the acts of the Arabs driven and kept from their homes. Israel is a country with only 7 million people, America is hated throughout the world for providing support for ongoing illegal settlements and occupation with martial law for 25 years.
Israel is very well capable of defending it self with the newest high tech weapons provided freely by the US taxpayer. There is no desire from Israel to have the US interfere in their country with troops or nation building.
Why should the US not let them take their own responsibility instead of being complicit in supporting their crimes against humanity?
Israel evil? What about Palestine? I am not saying that Israel is completely innocent, because they are not. However, they are not evil.
The fact that Israel has always attacked military targets solely and Palestine targets civilians almost exclusively is just one testament to who has been touched by evil and who has not.
Since September 2000, 1,471 Palestinian children have been killed compared to 125 Israeli children. Since 1967, 24,813 Palestinian homes have been demolished by Israel, compared to 0 Israeli homes demonlished. 6,468 Palestinians have been killed on land that they lawfully own, compared to 589 Israelis. Countless Palestinians have died as result of the inability to reach medical care due to Israeli road closures, curfews border crossing closures etc.
“Any humanitarian looking at the sheer number of innocent civilians who have lost their homes can only condemn Israel’s house demolition policy as a hugely disproportionate military response by an occupation army... It is a policy that creates only hardship and bitterness, and in the end can only undermine hope for future reconciliation and peace.” - Peter Hansen, Commissioner General of UNRWA.
Yep, one side certainly seems more evil than the other...
Mind boggling.

This one comes from a man who loathes Islam.
Now he claims he doesn't know how that stuff got in there...blah, blah, blah...
The newsletters are loaded w/ ati-semetic content.
You best look hard at the horse you're ridin' boy...
