JTA is a global news service covering items of interest to Jewish people around the world. They provide a great deal of coverage that often goes unnoticed in mainstream libmedia reporting.

I thought the article was interesting in that it conveys Ron Paul's message about the bad effects of our foreign policy to its "beneficiaries".

Naturally, Ron Paul opposes all foreign aid, not just aid to Israel. President Paul would not fund or arm Palistinians. He would not twist Israel's arm behind their backs to make another disastrous compromise of their own security and sovereignty for the sake of the so-called Palestinians. And he would try to cut off foreign aid around the world including the bogus "AIDS" crisis in Africa.

These supposed "compassionate" programs we sponsor are often a thin veneer for corporate welfare, for guaranteed sales for the military-industrial complex. As with "compassionate" food aid which rarely reaches the poor and starving, these programs are about control and about subsidies for U.S. interests, not the interests of those for whom we are supposedly so "compassionate".

Pro-Israel, pro-sovereignty ping.

Paul said, "We have adopted a foreign policy that has left Israel surrounded by militaristic nations while undermining Israel’s sovereignty by demanding that its foreign and defense policies be essentially pre-approved in Washington."

This is absolutely true.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Ping of interest.

[rod1]

Is that before or after Israel would cease to exist??

[Dead Corpse]

Well, he's right. It was the US that urged the Gaza pull out. It was the US that continually works to keep Israel from attacking those attacking it.

Sell 'em all the guns they can afford and get out of their way.

Sounds reasonable...

Paul said, "We have adopted a foreign policy that has left Israel surrounded by militaristic nations while undermining Israel’s sovereignty by demanding that its foreign and defense policies be essentially pre-approved in Washington."

Hence we call off Israel's dogs when they are attacked, for fear of offending the Arab countries to which we are beholden. It's a crazy tightrope walk of currying favor the USA plays in the ME.

This is actually the best article I've seen on the subject:

An Open Letter to the Jewish Community in Behalf of Ron Paul Walter Block

He’s got a point. We should be selling Israel weapons (not giving them to them with strings attached) and not sending one damn dime to the Palestinians. Then back off and let Israel take care of their own security concerns, starting with reoccupying Gaza and moving on from there as needed.

I have no problem with us selling military hardware to Israel, because of what they’re surrounded by. I do have a problem with us simultaneously supplying Israel’s enemies with aid, AND then trying to leash Israel from responding to provocations against it.

"Ron Paul would..."

Ron Paul won't. Because Santa Claus has a better chance of getting elected. But don't let that get in the way of yet another meaningless thread...

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

PAUL'S A KOOK! THIS PRESS RELEASE WAS WRITTEN IN CODE BY WHITE SUPREMACISTS!

Where does Ron Paul stand on foreign Aid to Europe?

Oh right. That aid is concealed in our defense budget.
