I have been a fan of your posts on Israel and the Middle East here on FR for years and if you look at the comments I've made to you on them then you know that I champion Israel and abhor past U.S. policy of encouraging them to sell out their homeland for an illusionary peace. I don't consider our payments to Israel to be "aid". I believe that it is part of the Camp David agreement with Egypt and Israel that Carter agreed to: an annual payment by the U.S to Both countries of around 5 billion dollars annually. Inflation has whittled that down to about 1.8 billion a year for Israels part but Egypt gets nearly as much. So I part ways with Dr. Paul on this one issue of foreign aid.(the difference is definition) It is not important enough to affect my vote for him. I believe that he will honor all agreements that the U.S. is a signatory to.

I regularly send pizzas to the Israeli troops during times of mobilization.

I also publish Ron Paul columns here without his explicit permission because he does not copyright his material...Do my views on Israel act as an endorsement of Ron Paul on Israeli affairs to you? Censoring a candidate because an extremist group does the same gives the extremist group way too much power. The question for you is...have you read anything Ron Paul has written that would make you think he is anti semitic?

Your views on Israel are irrelevant.

Posting his columns here are a function of free use, and many columnists/publications restrict that. Paul could, he doesn't, which is nice.

Go back and read my posts, I haven't accused Ron Paul of being antisemitic, he's never done/said anything for me to base that on. His votes on Israel, lots of his votes are moonbat stuff to me, so they mean nothing.

My understanding print media is different. Copyrights are easily established/enforced.

If he want's free use in the print media, I suppose that's his option.

It's hard for me to believe he doesn't know where and by who his columns are being published, but I'll even accept that.

But that's pure political incompetance, presuming he want's to get elected. And to me a disqualifier for any office.

My opinion only, but this is a losing issue for RP.
