From article:
"Ron Paul: I have objected to all foreign aid. I define foreign aid as taking money from poor people in rich countries and giving it to rich people in poor countries. We just cant keep doing this. We dont have the money anymore.
Stop and consider Americas policy: We give $3 billion a year to Israel in loans; and we give $12 billion or more in assistance to Israels self-declared enemies. Some of these are countries that say they will drive Israel into the sea.
Newsmax: What then, if anything, should we do for Israel?
Ron Paul: We should share intelligence for mutually agreed-upon goals. We should honor our pledge to refuse any arms sales that would undermine Israels qualitative military edge in the region.
But we should stop interfering with them. We should not announce bargaining positions even before she begins her negotiations. We should not dictate what she can and cannot do. We should stop trying to buy her allegiance. And Israel should stop sacrificing their sovereignty as an independent state to us or anybody else, no matter how well-intentioned.

This has been Dr. Paul's stance all along. Not just on Israel, but for all of our Allies. Regardless of sh*t people have said he "means", this is what his voting record upholds.
And I agree. I didn't agree when Clinton was trying to broker a "peace deal" by strong arming Isreal. I didn't like it when Bush did the same.
Leave 'em alone and sell 'em all the "beans and bullets" they need to protect themselves. We need to stop being Globo-cop before it destroys us altogether.
