If financial aid to Israel were slowly decreased over time, it would increase the Jewish state’s sovereignty because they wouldn’t need to get permission from the U.S. every time they need to defend themselves against aggressive neighbors, Sen. Rand Paul said on Monday.
Paul said that while he knows the idea of decreasing any kind of foreign aid is a “minority opinion” in Washington, it will be a lot harder for America to help others “if we are out of money,” reported Fox News. …

IF?
...Clue, get one.
You want to help Israel, don’t give money or weapons to Muslim’s. Israel would be 1000% stronger instantly.
The nut doesn’t fall far from the tree. Get back to us, Rand, when the Billions in foreign aid to Egypt, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and Mexico are shut off.
Just like dear old dad, fund islamicfasist but screw Israel.
You want to help Israel, don’t give money or weapons to Muslim’s. Israel would be 1000% stronger instantly.
Amen.
Any call to strip Israel of Aid should within the same damn breath is mandatory to state that we need to eliminate aid to countries that are antagonistic of Israel.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree..so he wants to cut off aid to Israel but I wonder if he wants to cut off aid to Muslim countries who want to destroy Israel
Sort of disappointing to hear such a statement from Ron’s son. Hoped Rand would steer clear of some of his father’s nuttier ideas.

Paul indicated that all foreign aid should be eliminated.
Paul indidicated that aid to Israel should be cut only after aid was eliminated from other nations, particularly Israel's enemies in the region.
And he acknowledges that Bibi also would like to see military aid to Israel reduced and eventually eliminated. Of course supplying Egypt with F16s and Abrams tanks makes that more difficult.

The sooner that the entire nation of Israel learns to trust in and lean on the Holy One of Israel, the better the whole world will be.
Hopefully, the US will not turn our back on Israel during this time.

Might be a good idea to read the article before making knee-jerk comments. We can’t afford to continue to be Santa to our own, let alone the rest of the world. Sen. Paul clearly calls for aid to questionable countries be eliminated, and only then, to review aid for Israel.
That doesn’t mean that foreign aid from other countries to places like Egypt, Palestine, Iran, Pakistan et al won’t be eliminated.
I gotta tell you, I for one am pretty sick of giving a rat's hairy behind about moral commitments (and that's what Israel is, it certainly isn't in America's narrow security interests to support them) when the Americans with the far greater cause to care can't seem to be bothered.
Because if we don’t care about Israel, then we become just like Obama.
