[George W. Bush]

The resolution had nothing to do with asking the UN to condemn violence OR foreign aid.

The resolution was a non-binding request to the U.N. to condemn and censure the remarks by Iran's leader advocating violence against Israel.

The other common charge used to fabricate "antisemitism" against Ron Paul is that he votes against all foreign aid and always has. Since Israel has formerly been among the largest or the largest recipient of foreign aid, there are those who like to accuse him of being antisemitic. He's not antisemitic, he's anti-foreign aid.

Now, if the resolution had been to defund the United Nations if they refused to condemn Iran, then you might have gotten his support. Still, he does nothing to legitimize the U.N. so even that would be a long shot.
