SEN. RAND PAUL: "I thought we voted for America First"
X ^ | Feb 5 | Sen. Ran Paul

Posted on 02/05/2025 8:25:49 AM PST by RandFan

@RandPaul

The pursuit for peace should be that of the Israelis and the Palestinians.

I thought we voted for America First.

We have no business contemplating yet another occupation to doom our treasure and spill our soldiers blood.

Rand and all the other never-Trumps do is talk, talk, talk. They have a well established history of inaction. They might as well be talking about the weather.

MAGA needs friends in high places and the pro-Israel Jewish community have proven a very helpful alliance. Not to mention, morally, Israel is in the right and has been trying to live nextdoor to 2 million people that want them all dead.

If you are a strict isolationist MAGA supporter, compromises will have to made, unless, of course, you would rather see a world governed by China’s open air prisons.

He’s responding to Rubio post where he said US will take a lead on rebuilding Gaza

So there is something behind Trump’s comments. There is some kind of plan/idea after all

It probably doesn’t mean the Palestinians will be resettled.

Rand is not a never Trumper, he’s more of a ‘sometime-Trumper’

Any words against Israel or Netanyahu automatically means someone is anti-semitic. Duh. /s

But it’s good to know there are those who will give Trump a gentle nudge when he strays.

I forgot who said it, maybe Mark Sieboda, but he said what makes Trump so unpredictable is that you never know who he talked to in the last 15 minutes.

Could be a case of Trump putting out another shiny object to chase, while the real work is getting done.

“There won’t be any occupants in gaza if they’re all transferred out.”

Being “transfered out” is not a viable solution. Transfered where?

Yes, the same feeling here.
Nobody wants Gaza.
Even fellow Egyptians, who administered it for 20 years, kept them on arms length and never allowed Gazans Egypt citizenship.
However, most people thing Trump does not really mean it.
It is just a bargaining call to force a real solution!
Right now, I would trust Trump.

Of course he believes that.

Not fighting in Gaza on behalf of Israel is anti-semitic.
Not fighting in Syria on behalf of Israel is anti-semitic.
Not giving billions of dollars to Israel is anti-semitic.
Not fighting Iran is anti-semitic.
Not restricting free speech is anti-semitic.
Being against globalism is anti-semitic.
Saying “Christ is King” is anti-semitic.

Don’t you watch the Daily Wire?

I don’t know. Seems reasonable to this strong Israel supporter.

The sole impediment to peace is the arab islamic mind virus that requires the murder of all Jews. That needs changing.

Buying up gaza doesn’t accomplish that.

Total destruction and killing of everyone willing to pick up a gun for the mind virus does. Bibi is getting that done, too slowly for my tastes, but still.

The solution they have in mind freepers aren’t gonna like

Just guessing

But u likely can’t disperse all two million Gaza Palestinians to Arab and Muslim nations

So I’m guess some would go to the West Bank where the behavior is better relatively speaking

It’s a very tall order all around

The Hashemites and Egyptians and Monarchies and north coast Africa arabs don’t want them

The real issue given they breed like rabbits and aside from ultra Orthodox Jews are arguably least reproductive of all whites so what do you do with 20 million of them in a 25 years

Rand is fine.
It will be a coalition of countries in the region that will rebuild and manage Gaza.
Not US.
Probably the nation's involved in the Abraham Accords.

Rand’s NOT a deal maker - he needs to stay out of this stuff — it’sa above his pay grade.

To: Tell It Right
"I agree with Rand. "

Did you agree with Rand on January 6th when he changed his planned vote from rejecting Biden's fraudulent electors, to accepting them, after he bought the media's BS propaganda about what happened that day?

Trump is not going to let Gaza continue to fester.

You can’t take what he says completely at face value. He announced we would annex the Canal Zone, and he has already got what he wanted there. He announced something similar in Greenland, and while Denmark is still squealing about it publicly, they have already agreed to give him what he wants there.

Mexico has agreed to seal the border and will allow Trump to go after the cartels.

All in his first couple of weeks in office.

"But senators by nature are gasbags."

Rand is as big a gas bag as Lindsey Graham.
