The U.S. Senator (R-Ky.), who is already being touted as a 2016 Republican presidential candidate, was recently appointed to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and is showing some strong Woodrow Wilson-style isolationist tendencies.
Either I shifted to an alternate universe, or the author of this doesn't know that Woodrow Wilson was an internationalist behind the League of Nations.
Cutting foreign aid to Israel and the Arabs would help Israel.

Yes let’s most foreign aid, esp. that going to nations of the pieceful type. Let’s keep giving aid to our key allies, like Israel. My future, home sweet home!

NJDC President David Harris said that the existence of Paul on the committee should be raising red flags and provoking severe concern across the pro-Israel community.
From http://www.njdc.org/site/page/bio_of_david_harris
"Mr. Harris began his career in electoral politics working as a campaign manager during the 1992 congressional campaign cycle, going on to work with the late Senator Paul Simon."
Why am I not surprised?

Most of the aid to Israel isn’t handing over cash. It is giving them preferred purchases on defense equipment. I can’t remember the source, but it was somewhere in the neighborhood of 80 to 90 percent of ‘aid’ was actually Israel buying arms.

This reads more like a typical hit piece designed to start the negative narrative well in advance of 2016.
I like Rand Paul and think he's a smarter and more practical man than his father is. I'd love to see him run for the nomination and, at this time, I believe he'd be a good candidate and a very good president.

"...and is showing some strong Woodrow Wilson-style isolationist tendencies."
The male feminist Democrat, Woodrow Wilson (and his fellow Democrats), lowered tariffs and started the federal income tax. One of his "fourteen points" was to ensure free trade. Wilson was a globalist and free traitor.
As for Rand Paul, he's obviously dishonest and anti-Israel. He isn't calling for cutting off the much larger amounts of money to Islamist nations first.
