Ron Paul’s likes or dislikes of Israel’s government policies is irrelevant. He has always respected Israel’s sovereignty and its right to defend itself:
Ron Paul has defended Israel sovereignty since 1981.
He defended Israel’s decision to bombard Iraq’s Osiraq nuclear site. He defended Israel against Obama’s proposal to return to the pre 1967 borders: “only Israel can make that determination on her own, without pressure from the United States or coercion by the United Nations.
Unlike this President, I do not believe it is our place to dictate how Israel runs her affairs.”
He wants to cut the 12 billions a year of foreign aid we give to Israel enemies (they get seven times as much aid as Israel). He wants to withdraw from the U.N who not only tramples Israel’s sovereignty, but usurps U.S sovereignty as well.
Israel has 200-300 hundred nuclear missiles. No one is gonna touch them.
No matter what his past record on Israel, his present policy is that its survival is none of our business. Iran is no big deal. Its threats are no big deal. Its nuclear capacity is no big deal.
We cannot have a President who so cavalierly and naively disregards the survival of one of our strongest allies.
His 'dislike' of Israel's government is most certainly NOT 'irrelevant.'
