Former Aide: Ron Paul is 'Most Certainly Anti-Israel'
Arutz Sheva ^ | 27/12/11 | Chana Yaar

A former senior aide to GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul has decided to "set the record straight" in a 'tell all' post on the Right Wing News blog -- and in the process, has confirmed that Paul wishes "the Israeli state did not exist at all."

Eric Dondero served as former senior aide to Paul when he was a U.S. Congressman from 1997 to 2003, and worked closely with the candidate as an aide since 1988.

"I've noticed in some media that my words have been twisted and used for an agenda from both sides," Dondero wrote, explaining from the outset why he had decided to set forth his views in such a blunt manner, on the site that he chose. "I wish to set the record straight with media that I trust and know will get the story right: conservative/libertarian-conservative bloggers."

Ron Paul is not a racist, Dondero wrote. "I never heard a racist word expressed towards Blacks or Jews come out of his mouth. Not once," he wrote. "Is Ron Paul an Anti-Semite? Absolutely No. As a Jew, (half on my mother’s side), I can categorically say... No slurs. No derogatory remarks."

However, the candidate's feelings about Israel versus the Palestinian Authority are another matter entirely, Dondero wrote.

"He is however, most certainly Anti-Israel, and Anti-Israeli in general. He wishes the Israeli state did not exist at all. He expressed this to me numerous times in our private conversations. His view is that Israel is more trouble than it is worth, specifically to the America taxpayer. He sides with the Palestinians, and supports their calls for the abolishment of the Jewish state, and the return of Israel, all of it, to the Arabs."

“Served in the armed services, attended college and became a doctor”

So did Nidal Hasan.

And sorry, but Ron Paul is NOT a conservative. The difference is explained very well and plainly in the article below. (Included is a photo of him and Stormfront friends.) Try to look past the title and at least check it out:

“Being anti jew and anti Israel is very different.”

I don’t think it is. I mean, wouldn’t that be the same as someone (with questionable affiliations) from another country saying they’re anti-America but like Americans.

I don’t know how you’d feel about that, but it wouldn’t sit well with me.

Didn't Paul convert to Islam? Can you find any statement in the last 10 years that Paul made that were pro-Christian? He takes the Muslim side against Christians every single time? Find one contradictory statement. Every time Muslims kill Christians, Paul says Christians deserved it. When a Muslim shot a bunch of people on a military base in Paul's home state, he refused criticize the Muslim. He's viciously anti-Christian. Please provide evidence to the contrary.
