I believe in non-intervention. I believe we should treat all other countries alike, and that we should be friends. Israel is very, very powerful. If we weren’t in there, they could do what they want to protect themselves, and they wouldn’t have to ask us permission, and we would never have to be dragged in if something happens over there. I think they’d be much better off, and that would be a constitutional position...

More often than not the U.S. in in the position of restraining the Israelis. I for one am sick of that. This quote by Paul would sound so much better on the ears of this voter if many of his followers weren’t raving, anti-semitic, 9/11 loonies.
It would be a lot wiser to simply state that we need to stop restraining the only truly free friend we have in the mideast and stop paying protection to Israel’s enemies.
Saying that they’ll be untouched was just plain dumb.
If Israel is massively dependent on U.S. welfare (which it is), it should be surprised that U.S. might “restrain” it from to time.
