'It will lead to war' - Ron Paul fights to end military aid for Israel Yet another example of Ron Paul sticking to his guns. In this of all years to have the strength and guts to speak out when all others will do nothing but nod along for fear of upsetting the likes of AIPAC says it all. Wake the fuck up and Vote Ron Paul.
i doubt it dude none of your posts make any sense check this out [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lYaZ3C5e5g"]Benjamin Netanyahu Prime Minister of Israel agrees with Ron Paul - YouTube[/ame]
I still can if that is necessary. I technically lied, I have the ballot sheet in front of me marked but I was gonna send it after I got out of work.
The Neoconservatives just want to send their American Christian boys to support the Zionist effort and whipe out some Muslims in Palestine and Lebanon. Ron Paul on the other hand, supports the majority of American People who want no part of that war or any of the other wars on poor desert people. Netanyahu is a dick for being a part of the Zionist movement and making light of war with Iran, but I'm under the impression he is just the face of the organization much like Obama and every other political leader. Let Britain give them all the military support they need since they are the ones who created Israel.
Israel doesn't need the U.S. money that badly, it's only about 1% of their GDP but, if we stop she will probably act more independently in military matters, and will not be held accountable to the United States.
They really make it seem that way.. I think Israel is the only country that you will see specific commercials in the USA for supporting them....
I agree with Ron Paul majority of the time, and this is me being a Jewish kid who grew up Jewish. I personally believe their should be the state of Israel and Palestine, but people have to understand, just because we leave, doesn't mean that they will stop. It's absolutely ridiculous to think that their aren't any middle eastern countries who don't want to harm the US or Israel, EVEN if we all left. If you think that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will leave the US and Israel alone, even if we left the occupied areas, then I feel sorry for you. The guy is absolutely bat shit crazy, and even my Muslim friends keep telling me that the things he says, don't make any sense. As for Israel, I believe it can stand on it's own two feet. It has one of the most advanced armies in the region, the only thing that worries me and many of my people is the fact that a couple nuclear weapons can easily wipe it off the map.
How do you feel about the fact that Israel is being extremely hypocritical when they have 300+ nukes and refuse to let inspectors in ? Would you be concerned that Israel could launch a nuke ?
I wish people would stop acknowledging that area as Israel. That's fuckin Palestine. Considering how the US came about though, I guess it's expected. I predict Palestinian reservations and casinos in the next 100 years.
If they want to get military aid, they have to act somewhat in the interests of the United States - without it, all bets are off. I don't know if it's a good idea to stop the aid or not, but if they've got nothing to lose they're less likely to care about what we think.
And what is wrong with that ? Israelis want their own state. They have made that very clear in the last 60 odd years. Let Israelis decide the fate of Israel. The US has breast fed Israel for long enough. Its time to wean Israel off the tit. I don't believe Israel really gives a shit what the US government think. The powerful and financially supportive pro Israel organizations in the US have far more say than Obama ever will. The Israeli government knows that by having the US government by the balls that they can rely on them for back up in any confrontations. The other countries in the region would also know that if you have a problem with Israel you have a problem with the US. By the US letting Israel fend for itself it would not only give the US a massive PR boost in the region but hopefully push the Israeli government to strive harder towards finding a peaceful resolution to their conflict with the people of Palestine. We have to only recall Bin Laden's infamous "Letter to America" to realize the significance of Palestine and its people to the conflict in the region. One less reason to hate the US has to be a good thing.
All bets are off.... Clearly the only way to promote peace throughout the world is to selectively bomb nations "to get the terrorists!", buy off which ever nations we please to make sure "they are held accountable" and continually profit off selling arms back and forth between two sides of a battle. Problem is 90-95% of the casualties in the middle east have been civilians and the world is sick of us bombing the innocent. We are losing our appeal in the public eye and breeding the largest generation of terrorists this planet will ever see. But it's for our safety
Israel was created by some very wealthy people in England as a satellite military base in the Muslim Middle-East to help them secure their newly founded oil companies there. It was also a way for them to expel the increasingly successful Jews from Europe, and get them all rounded up in a small region of the world where War is very imminent. It is a disaster waiting to happen, especially after the invention of the nuclear weapon and it's production all over the world. The U.S. should have no part in Israel, but they've been blackmailed and bribed into militarily assisting them by the global financial powers that originate in the U.K. I definately understand the persecution that Jews endure which is their reason for flocking to Israel, but they need to understand they've been lead into one of the largest religious warfare experiments in world history. I think nationalism is fading with the majority of Jews in Israel, and in the future democratic elections will lead to a more peaceful resolution with Palestinians and the rest of the Muslim Middle-East.
