If Elected Ron Paul Will End All US Support and Aid For Israel

Rep. Ron Paul can state that he’s a friend to Israel all he wants, but the published record stands. He views Israel as the catalyst for 9/11, defends Iran’s innocence, parrots the anti-Israeli propaganda of Hamas, and upholds an anti-Zionist organization that views Israel as an oppressive, illegitimate state. That is not a friend.

Ron Paul’s War On Israel

“Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.” Psalm 129:5

Rep. Ron Paul is now in first place in the Iowa caucus polls, second in New Hampshire and third nationally. This has prompted a former close aide of his, Eric Dondero, to speak out about the anti-Israeli views he expressed to him in private. The Paul campaign is ridiculing Dondero as a “disgruntled former staffer” and another aide, an Israeli, is defending Paul. A close examination of Paul’s books, newsletters and statements give credence to Dondero.

: Rep. Ron Paul can state that he’s a friend to Israel all he wants, but the published record stands. He views Israel as the catalyst for 9/11, defends Iran’s innocence, parrots the anti-Israeli propaganda of Hamas, and upholds an anti-Zionist organization that views Israel as an oppressive, illegitimate state. That is not a friend.

Dondero worked closely with Paul from 1987 to 2003. After he left, he nearly ran against Ron Paul but instead supported another candidate. Dondero claims that the presidential candidate is not merely anti-Semitic but “wishes the Israeli state did not exist at all.” Dr. Leon Hadar, a dual American-Israeli citizen who served as a foreign policy adviser to Paul during his 2008 presidential campaign, has risen to Paul’s defense. He says that Paul does not want to see Israel eliminated as a state, yet Paul praises an anti-Zionist group that envisions just that.

On page 317 of his book, “Liberty Defined,” Paul laments the influence of the Israeli government on America and the “apartheid conditions that Palestinians are subjected to.” He says that “Even newspapers in Israel are willing to discuss this issue openly, but it is essentially never permitted in the United States.” He praises J-Street for challenging “AIPAC’s monopoly control of the discussion” and Peace Now. He expresses his pleasure that an anti-Zionist group called the American Council for Judaism has growing support.

The American Council for Judaism is opposed the concept of Jewish nationality and a Jewish state. The editor of its publications, Allan C. Brownfield, told the New York Times that “While we wish Israel well, we don’t view it as our homeland.” In the fall of 2010, he wrote a glowing book review of “The Dark Side of Zionism.” The title speaks for itself.

In spring 2009, the American Council for Judaism’s Issues publication carried an article by Yakov M. Rabkin that defends Iran and bashes Israel. He writes that Jews are treated well in Iran and that “the role of the Israel Lobby has been seminal in the anti-Iran hysteria.”

“The religiously inspired Iranian president predicts the end of the Zionist regime, but he does not threaten to massacre the inhabitants of Israel,” the ACJ’s publication states. The author agrees with Ahmadinejad in predicting the eventual disappearance of Israel and talks about the “contradictions” between Zionism and Judaism. He also says that Zionism “takes precedence over the human welfare and the very survival of the Jews.” This is the group that Ron Paul speaks fondly of.

Voters first saw a glimpse of Paul’s attitude towards Israel during an argument with Newt Gingrich. The former House speaker was under fire for calling the Palestinians an “invented” people. Paul did not necessarily disagree, conceding that “Technically and historically” Gingrich is right. He then added, “You know, under the Ottoman Empire, the Palestinians didn’t have a state, but neither did Israel have a state then, too.”

Ron Paul defends Iran’s innocence, going so far as to say there is no evidence that it is seeking a nuclear weapon, stands in sharp contrast to the heaps of criticism he levels towards Israel. In January 2009, he talked to Iranian state TV about the “tragedy of Gaza” (his words) and said, “To me, I look at it like a concentration camp, and people [in Gaza] are making homemade bombs, like they are the aggressors?”

He made similar comments in an interview in June 2010 with Don Imus, calling the flotilla raid “horrible” and again accusing Israel of turning the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip into a “concentration camp” by blocking the arrival of humanitarian aid.

He consistently paints the terrorist threat as beginning and ending with U.S. support for Israel. He writes in “A Foreign Policy of Freedom” that American “dollars and weapons are being used against the Palestinians as the Palestinian territory shrinks and Israel’s occupation expands.” Elsewhere in the book, hecomplains that “all recent presidents have reiterated our obligation to bleed for Israel.”

Ron Paul stresses that he is not an enemy of Israel. He calls the country America’s “best friend,” and says the U.S. should be a “friend” and not a “master.” He says that U.S. foreign aid is used to coerce Israel and “They are a democracy and we share many values with them.” Paul says that his opposition to foreign aid is in line with Zionism, which asserts Jewish independence and self-reliance. However, that is a separate question from whether he believes Israel’s foundations are legitimate, and, furthermore, he says that the U.S. should be a “friend” to all countries.

Ron Paul’s old newsletters are being reviewed now that he is in the top tier. James Kirchick tracked almost all of them down and observed that “No foreign country was mentioned in the newsletters more often than Israel.” A 1987 issue calls the country an “aggressive, national socialist state.” In 1990, it warned of the “tens of thousands of well-placed friends of Israel in all countries who are willing to wok [sic] for the Mossad in their area of experience.”

After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, his newsletter stated, “Whether it was a setup by the Israeli Mossad, as a Jewish friend of mine suspects, or was truly a retaliation by the Islamic fundamentalists, matters little.” Another talked about “The Israeli lobby, which plays Congress like a cheap harmonica.” In November 1993, it referred to Bobby Fischer, an anti-Semitic Holocaust denier, as an “American hero” with views that are “very politically incorrect on Jewish questions.” The text seemed to decry the fact that that his opinions were overshadowing his accomplishments as a master chess player.

Ron Paul says he did not read the newsletters before they were published and does not agree with their content. His campaign says that he “did not write, edit or authorize” them and that he completely rejects their bigotry.

Eric Dondero claims that Paul “strenuously does not believe the United States had any business getting involved in fighting Hitler in WWII. He expressed to me countless times, that ‘saving the Jews,’ was absolutely none of our business.” Blogger Jeffrey Scott Shapiro recalls a conversation he had with Paul in 2009 on the subject. He quotes Paul as saying that he “wouldn’t risk American lives to do that [stop the Holocaust]” if it is “purely as a moral imperative.”

“If someone wants to do that on their own because they want to do that, well, that’s fine, but I wouldn’t do that,” he quotes Paul. He is on record as describing himself as part of the “Old Right,” a movement that opposed U.S. involvement in World War Two.

Dondero also says that Paul opposed the war in Afghanistan and any retaliation for 9/11, “pretty much forbade us staffers from engaging in any sort of [9/11] memorial expressions” and privately questioned whether 9/11 was an inside job. Ron Paul has repeatedly denied that he believes in 9/11 conspiracy theories, but in an interview in October, he was asked why he wouldn’t talk about the “truth” behind 9/11. He responded that he “just can’t handle the controversy.”

Jews Are ‘Getting It From All Sides’ Now As Neo-Nazis Demonstrations Descend On Upscale Greenwich Connecticut Shouting ‘New England Is Ours!’

Hitler-saluting neo-Nazis descended on ritzy Greenwich, Connecticut and chanted ‘Heil’ while doing a one-armed salute during a sickening display over the weekend.

If you are a Jew living in America in 2024, you are having odd, time-travel bursts in your mind carrying you back to 1933 at the start of the German Reich. Tens of thousands of college students all across the country are calling for an end to the nation of Israel, and shouting ‘Jews Must Go!’ Now in the wealthy enclave of Greenwich, Connecticut, neo-Nazis from the neo-Nazi group NSC-131 are taking to the street saying the same thing. It’s beginning to look like open season on the Jews.

“Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.” Jeremiah 16:16 (KJB)

As we said on the Podcast today, get ready for another ‘Summer of Love’ from the Far Left elements of America that will include and not limited to burning buildings, destroyed property, rapes, deaths, endless anti-Jew demagoguery, all of which supported by the Liberal media who will call it a ‘mostly peaceful protest’. The Jew in America in 2024 is right now feeling what Jews in Berlin felt in 1933, that’s why the smart ones fled to come here. But where are they supposed to go now?

Neo-Nazis salute ‘Heil’ in ritzy downtown Greenwich, Conn., in sickening display: ‘Hate from all sides’

FROM THE NY POST: Masked goons from the neo-Nazi group NSC-131 traveled from out of town Saturday to demonstrate outside Greenwich Town Hall, where they carried signs reading “New England is ours the rest must go” and “Anti-whites FAFO” — with the acronym standing for “F–k around and find out.” From there they marched in formation through downtown Greenwich, before assembling on a street corner with their vile banners while barking “Seig Heil,” flashing the Nazi salute and leering at passersby.

“Nazis showing up in Greenwich and yelling ‘Heil’ with their arms raised? Not supposed to happen in 2024,” a Greenwich resident and member of the local Jewish community, Jolie Goldring, told The Post.

“As Jews, we are literally getting it from every which way, shape and form.”

The Nazi group — a subsect of NSC-131 called the Peoples Initiative for New England — is dedicated to creating a “white homeland” in the Northeast and seceding from the rest of the US. Despite the menacing vitriol of the neo-Nazis, Greenwich First Selectman Fred Camillo said their appearance was protected under the First Amendment and that without violence or action, there was no cause to drive them from town.

“They did not break any laws, as abhorrent and disgusting as their message was,” Camillo told The Post, characterizing them as attention-seekers to whom the people of Greenwich must respond with the kind of civility of which such bigots are incapable.

“Had they crossed the line there, were there would have been consequences,” he added, noting that local police were aware the Nazis were coming, and monitored them throughout the rally.

For local Jews, however, such words of assurance have done little to soften the shock of what they saw — especially in light of anti-Israel protests and rising antisemitism in the wake of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

“We feel we are in a vise. Hate from all sides,” Goldring said.

“If it’s happening here, it’s going to happen somewhere else, and it’s going to happen in other places, and soon stupid uneducated people might believe them,” she said through tears. “It’s just really hard to see and hear someone saying ‘Heil Hitler’ down the street from where I live.” READ MORE

Over 2,000 Pro-Palestinian Rioters Have Been Arrested On College Campuses Across The Country As The Violent Demonstrations Show No Sign Of Stopping

Police have arrested more than 2,000 people during pro-Palestinian protests at college campuses across the United States in recent weeks, according to an Associated Press tally Thursday.

The big question now is will these college riots that seek to destroy Israel and the Jews break out from being only on college campuses and begin to appear in the downtown streets like the riots of 2020 did before them? It all depends on how much more funding that George Soros is willing to give them, I suppose, because he is the main one behind it all. Joe Biden today finally took a position on the riots, condemning them, but only after Trump had called him out for staying mostly silent.

“They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.” Psalm 83:4 (KJB)

The situation is politically complicated for Biden, who is already facing blowback from portions of his base over his handling of the Israel-Hamas war. Thousands of voters have cast protest ballots against Biden in Democratic primaries, and a CNN poll released over the weekend showed Biden trailing Trump among young voters. The longer the riots go on, the more it benefits Trump and his efforts to win re-election. Israel is also showing signs that a ceasefire may not be in the offing, and that will certainly extend the rapidly-worsening situation.

At least 2,000 people arrested at pro-Palestinian protests on US campuses

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS: Demonstrations — and arrests — have occurred in almost every corner of the nation. But in the last 24 hours, they’ve drawn the most attention at the University of California, Los Angeles, where chaotic scenes played out early Thursday when officers in riot gear surged against a crowd of demonstrators.

Hundreds of protesters at UCLA defied orders to leave, some forming human chains as police fired flash-bangs to break up the crowds.

At least 200 people were arrested, said Sgt. Alejandro Rubio of the California Highway Patrol, citing data from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Rubio said they were being booked at the county jails complex near downtown Los Angeles. UCLA police will determine what charges to bring.

Later Thursday morning, workers removed the barricades and dismantled the protesters’ fortified encampment. Bulldozers scooped up bags of trash and tents. Some buildings were covered in graffiti.

Tent encampments of protesters calling on universities to stop doing business with Israel or companies they say support the war in Gaza have spread across campuses nationwide in a student movement unlike any other this century.

The demonstrations began at Columbia University on April 17, with students calling for an end to the Israel-Hamas war, which has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, according to the Health Ministry there. Israel launched its offensive in Gaza after Hamas militants killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took roughly 250 hostages in an attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7. READ MORE

Kristallnacht Comes To Hamilton Hall At Columbia University With ‘Night Of Broken Glass’ In Support Of Hamas, Openly Calling For Genocide Of The Jews

The Kristallnacht takeover of Hamilton Hall by pro-Palestinian protesters comes after the university announced it was suspending students after previously asking protesters involved in the anti-Israel encampment to leave by 2:00 p.m.

The breaking of the glass windows at Hamilton Hall at Columbia University last night was done in a careful, methodical and highly intentional way. The breakers of the glass very much wanted to bring to your remembrance an event that took place in Nazi Germany in 1938 called Kristallnacht, the ‘night of broken glass’. This seminal event was the kick-off to the 7 years of Jewish-specific concentration camps which would extinguish the lives of 6 million Jews. This is exactly what the rioters at Columbia University wanted you to think of last night. The horror of the gas chambers and the ovens was the end point for what started with Nazi soldiers writing threatening words on the windows of Jewish shopkeepers using a ten cent bar of soap. Think about that.

“Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.” Jeremiah 16:16 (KJB)

This world is preparing itself to receive Antichrist, and because of that, we are seeing a huge uptick in violent antisemitism not only in America but around the world as well. On college campuses like Columbia, they are calling for the genocide of the Jews to such a degree that Jewish students can no longer attend classes. Columbia University officials are advising “members of the University community” to avoid going to the Morningside campus if possible on Tuesday in light of the protesters occupying Hamilton Hall, according to a campus alert from Columbia Public Safety. This not only antisemitism, this is the end times. Pick a side, Christian, pick a side. Am Yisrael Chai.

Anti-Israel Protesters Seize Administrative Building at Columbia University

FROM BREITBART NEWS: Anti-Israel protesters involved in an encampment at Columbia University took over an administrative building early Tuesday morning. Video footage posted to X showed anti-Israel protesters carrying barricades into Hamilton Hall, an academic building on the university’s campus.

In its Telegram channel, Within Our Lifetime (WOL) Palestine posted an announcement calling for protection of the anti-Israel encampment on the campus.

“Student organizers have called on everyone to come to Columbia TONIGHT and defend the encampment after administration’s threats this morning,” the group wrote in a post on the channel.

Other videos posted to X showed anti-Israel protesters smashing the glass doors of Hamilton Hall, as people can be heard chanting, “Disclose. Divest. We will not stop, we will not rest.” Anti-Israel protesters who occupied Hamilton Hall were photographed hanging pro-Palestinian posters from the windows of the building. Protesters were videotaped hanging a banner from the windows of the building that read, “Intifada,” as anti-Israel protesters can be heard chanting, “Free, free, free, free, Palestine. From the river to the sea…”

The takeover of Hamilton Hall by pro-Palestinian protesters comes after the university announced it was suspending students after previously asking protesters involved in the anti-Israel encampment to leave by 2:00 p.m.

An initial encampment was started on Columbia University’s campus on April 17. The next day several students were suspended, and hundreds of protesters involved in the encampment were arrested. Columbia University had removed the initial encampment, but since then, it has returned. Since the start of the encampment at Columbia University, others have been established at the University of California Los Angeles, Yale University, Harvard University, George Washington University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, among others.
