I haven’t been following all the recent Ron Paul stuff. I’ve read some of his writings in the past and like what he says. You say some of his rabid supporters are anti-Semites. Is he?
No, it’s a ridiculous assertion. Paul does want to cut out all foreign aid, including foreign aid to Israel. Though controversial, that’s a political and constitutional position rather than an expression of anti-Semitism. He’s a follower of the Austrian school of economics, which was advanced by Mises and Hayek who were both Jews. Paul was closely aligned with Murray Rothbard and praised Milton Friedman as well. Genuine anti-Semites don’t do stuff like that.
Of course not.
This tired old saw comes strictly from the fevered imagination of the NWO fans and enemies of this country, who think ceasing ALL foreign aid, including to Israel, is the moral equivalent of "hating Jews".
BTW: ALL foreign aid includes the aid to the "Palestinians" and other Middle-Eastern countries as well.
Ron Paul (and myself) consider borrowing and giving away money that we don't have to be unconstitutional, and very damaging to our country.
Not to mention being harmful to our foreign relations.
