He’s anti-war all right, but not anti-Israel; he’s Israeli-neutral.

He condemned last summer’s attacks on Lebanon, primarily because the attacks on Lebanese infrastructure were pointless, unjust, and self-defeating (why the heck did they bomb infrastructure targets anyway?). The attacks also resulted in a lot of dead Lebanese Christians, which pro-Israel evangelicals also ignore. How can Christians support Israeli actions that hurt Palestinian and Lebanese Christians, which number 15% and 35% of their respective populations?

But Ron Paul has also said that Iran wouldn’t dare to attack Israel, as the Israelis have the ability to “mop the floor” with Iran.

When you try to isolate an enemy to southern Lebanon you bomb bridges and other infrastructure they can use to escape north. You bomb infrastructure in the northern border and port towns so the enemy is not reinforced. When all that was halted then Israel started to lose the war in Lebanon.

Since when is Paul a military tactician anyway?

So if Dr. Paul is against Israel actually defending itself, but then says it would be able to mop the floor with Iran that makes him neutral?

Seems to me it makes him at best Israel-neutral in hypothetical situations but anti-Israel when the rubber hits the road.
