"He is against Israel as I am against January. He is just against foreign aid, and does not see any reason to grant an aid to the country that is a member of OECD."

Sorry but from what I've read ... credible sources ... Ron Paul is DEFINATELY Anti-Israel. IMHO he isn't racist. But he's anti-Israel. I dont know if it's from a financial viewpoint (the guy doesn't want any US $$ going overseas) ... or if it's something else ... but he definately is anti-Israel - IMHO.

1. Rights belong to individuals, not groups; they derive from our nature and can neither be granted nor taken away by government.
2. All peaceful, voluntary economic and social associations are permitted; consent is the basis of the social and economic order.
3. Justly acquired property is privately owned by individuals and voluntary groups, and this ownership cannot be arbitrarily voided by governments.
4. Government may not redistribute private wealth or grant special privileges to any individual or group.
5. Individuals are responsible for their own actions; government cannot and should not protect us from ourselves.
6. Government may not claim the monopoly over a people's money and governments must never engage in official counterfeiting, even in the name of macroeconomic stability.
7. Aggressive wars, even when called preventative, and even when they pertain only to trade relations, are forbidden.
8. Jury nullification, that is, the right of jurors to judge the law as well as the facts, is a right of the people and the courtroom norm.
9. All forms of involuntary servitude are prohibited, not only slavery but also conscription, forced association, and forced welfare distribution.
10. Government must obey the law that it expects other people to obey and thereby must never use force to mold behavior, manipulate social outcomes, manage the economy, or tell other countries how to behave.

ISRAEL IS THE PROBLEM
So is the point that Ron Paul is not against Israel because Israel is the lying two-bit slut whore cheating bitch nation that spies on us, cons us into wars, hides its nuclear weapons program from us, corrupts our congress, attacks the USS Liberty, sells weapons we give it to third party nations, lies about spying on us, kills American citizens like Rachel Corrie but just because he does not believe in foreign aid?
Okay - I can live with that.edit on 29-12-2011 by BRAVO949 because: (no reason given)

Ron Paul is pro-Israel, but his Pro stance, means hands off! Let Israel take care of their own business, .
Here is a bit of a fact check on some of Ron Paul's "controversial" statements which prove he is Anti israel.

First off, do not be shocked if you post is removed by staff. Even I must say, even though I understand your point, it is rather inflammatory.
Getting to your point, how do you think Israel has accomplished all the things you listed? I would suggest it is with our foreign aid which has made it possible. How do you kill a snake? You kill the snake by cutting it's head off. Cutting off the tail or snake or cutting a snake down the middle, does not kill it. At least not right away. You still run the risk of having the snake bite you. You kill the snake by cutting off it's head and I would argue that cutting off financial and military aid cuts the head off the beast.
It is the unintended consequence of a sound Policy. It is the same principle that we see today, which is a lot of unintended consequences of bad policy.

All of this coddling to 1 small group in America.
Mainstream media and religious groups have done a great job brainwashing their flocks into thinking "it's ok to bomb foreign people but it's a no-no to even Think about talking bad about our jewish friends"
Don't people even question WHY the media, supporters and friends of a group or individual must go so far out of their way to PROVE that they are not anti-Jew or Israel?
(sorry for the rant. I'm just sick and tired of everyone walking on eggshells when it comes to this topic. And before I get labeled by one our IDF friends, YES, I am anti-I$rael) :-)

I would love to vote for Ron Paul but the Jewish / Zionist / Pro-Israel lobby is never going to allow him to run for president. They have been slandering him to this point and will find something to knock him right out of the race and if that does not work they will kill him without even the slightest hesitation.
