Is Rand Paul trolling for Jewish votes? Or does he genuinely support Israel?

I thought the Pauls were against Israel? Still even a crazy loon gets one right every once and a while.

I think Paul is realizing that the bumper-sticker morons who follow him will stick with them no matter what he or his dad will say.

It was a war crime for the Palis to use human shields against their offensive missiles in Gaza - and the world is doing NOTHING about that. Israel is in the right.

We’ve been buying off these thugs for years, hoping they’d leave Israel alone. Instead they took the economic aid and bought guns and rockets.

If we want to show the world that the US can’t be trifled with on solemn agreements, then cut it off entirely.

We should have cut the $400 million aid when they ended the peace talks and joined Hamas as partners. When Hamas later attacked Israel with 4,000 missiles, we should have cut our
aid.

Muslims have never practiced tolerance of other religions for 1400 years. Why would they change now?

Touche! I can not understand why we are maintaining 800 military bases around the world with 18 Trillion dollars in recorded national debt and 100 Trillion in unfunded future benefits on law books. You can’t act like a superpower with borrowed money.
