The "anti-semitism" charge is just one of the ways his political opponents try to smear him. He's not anti-semitic, he just doesn't have the same "Israel can do no wrong" attitude that many other politicians have. Take a look at this video, since you brought up that charge.

Not helping Israel is CRAZY!

Paul opposes foreign aid not just to Israel, but to ALL nations. When you think about his position and consider that we have given tons of money to Israel's enemies, his position doesn't hurt Israel at all. If we give 3 billion a year to Israel, and 12 billion to Israel's enemies, then Israel has the net disadvantage, so ending foreign aid to both actually HELPS Israel.

The bottom line is, Paul believes in the independence and sovereignty of all nations, Israel included. He believes in the biblical principle that "the borrower is servant to the lender" - and just as he opposes generational welfare that causes people to be dependent on the government and gives the government control over people, it's the same idea with other nations. We should not be interfering in their affairs or trying to control them, just as we want other nations to respect OUR sovereignty and not interfere with OUR affairs. I don't think that is "insane" at all, the opposite, in fact!
