correction to my previous: He voted no on asking the United Nations to condemn violence against Israel.

svcw: You may justify and make excuses all you want, Paul is an anti-semic little weasel.

Only if you believe that all the foreign aid we hand out is justified. In fact, Israel is no longer the leading recipient of it. Opposing foreign aid is simply opposing foreign aid, not antisemitism.

The argument can and has been made that U.S. aid actually harms Israel both militarily and economically. As we saw with welfare reform here in the U.S., welfare for Africa and Israel and Egypt and everyone else leads to bad results economically. It incentivizes dependency and subsidizes bureaucracies. The Exim (Export-Import Bank) is especially notorious.

The resolution had nothing to do with asking the UN to condemn violence OR foreign aid.
Paul voted against condemning violence against Israel..in my book thats makes him a weasely little anti-semite.
