The bottom line is Israels right to exist and whether its people can live their lives as they wish or be the victims of a second Holocaust, this time from hate driven Muslims.
Jews have been terrorized and driven out of their native countries ruled by Muslims all over the middle east. To think that these same Muslim rulers would be any more benign to Israel is a pipe dream. Besides the country of Israel is barely larger in size than some counties in the USA, and they have been attacked by Muslim armies several times. They need a strong military to survive.
To think that these same Muslim forces would become friendly to the USA once Israel falls is also a pipe dream.
Dont forget the Israelis already have nuclear weapons and they will use them if pushed to the brink.
So Pauls foreign policy would probably make nuclear war in the Middle East more likely if not inevitable.
