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.”

2025 Will Go Down For Among Other Things As The Year That Antisemitism Gained A Foothold Not Only In The MAGA GOP But Throughout America As Well

2025 was a seminal year for antisemitism and anti-Zionism not only across America but within the MAGA Republican Party

Stop me if you’ve heard this one. A man walks onto a college campus and says “I’m not antisemitic, I just hate Zionists. Free Palestine.” Pretty funny, yes? Or perhaps not, but either way some form of this “joke” has been told endlessly across the United States in 2025. “I’m not against Israel”, they say, “I’m only against Zion”. They advocate for the cutting off of all funding to Israel, and the establishment of a Palestinian state. And no, I am not talking about Democrats primarily, I am talking about half of the Republican Party MAGA Movement, or whatever they call themselves now.

“The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.” Psalm 128:5 (KJB)

What got me thinking about all this wasn’t something that wasn’t directly antisemitic, but when you think about it for a minute, it becomes quite chilling. Benjamin Netanyahu was visiting Trump in the White House over the weekend, where he made a very strange remark. When asked about selling US F-35 jet fighters to Israel’s declared enemy Turkey, Trump said “We’re thinking about it very seriously,” adding “I promise they’ll never use them on Israel,” while walking out of the room. “We’re not going have a problem.” Oh, I see. ‘Trust In Trump’ is it? How could he ever think, in a million years, that giving F-35’s to a country that has threated many times in 2025 to attack Israel could ever be a good idea? It’s a terrible idea, but given Trump’s recent affinity for striking deals with Muslim nations, it makes perfect sense. Just remember, Trump was an avowed antivaxxer right up to the moment he unleashed the COVID vaccine bioweapon. Trump is a lifelong friend of Israel right up to the moment he isn’t anymore.

At the recent meeting of Turning Point USA, antisemitism was on full display with a notable percentage of the participants. “Ben Shapiro is like a cancer, and that cancer spreads,” Steve Bannon said, to the cheers of thousands. Megyn Kelly said during a talk with conservative influencer Jack Posobiec at the conference that “there was a rift even before we lost Charlie… and it revolves around Israel,” NBC reported. For a group that seemed to speak with one voice when they help reelect Donald Trump last November, this is a paradigm shift to say the least. Take a look at what some of the most-notable influencers are saying now.

Some of the stunning 2025 antisemitic turns by MAGA influencers

Tucker Carlson: The former Fox News host (and current independent media figure) has been a prominent voice criticized for mainstreaming antisemitic ideas and white nationalist rhetoric, often focusing on “globalists” and questioning U.S. support for Israel. He has also hosted known white nationalists like Nick Fuentes on his show.
Candace Owens: The conservative commentator has made numerous controversial comments, including calling Israel “demonic” and promoting anti-Israel conspiracy theories. She frequently uses the term “globalists” to describe a cabal of powerful individuals, a widely recognized antisemitic dog whistle.
Nick Fuentes: A leader of the far-right “Groyper” movement, Fuentes is a self-described white nationalist known for Holocaust denial and overt antisemitic rants, who has gained a following among some younger conservatives within the MAGA movement.
Stew Peters: A far-right conspiracy theorist and podcast host who promotes Holocaust denial and claims that “primarily Jewish-controlled central banks” fund evil in America; multiple congressional Republicans have appeared on his show.
Steve Bannon: An architect of the MAGA Movement, Bannon has been accused of making antisemitic comments and comparing Jewish commentators like Ben Shapiro to a “cancer” on the conservative movement.
Megyn Kelly: The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) accused Kelly of invoking antisemitic tropes when she claimed that Jewish commentators Ben Shapiro and Bari Weiss are “making antisemites”. The ADL stated that blaming Jewish people for the hate directed against them is a classic victim-blaming trope.

Christian, if you are an anti-Zionist, you possess a pathetically-low understanding of the Bible, in either Testament, and should be ashamed of yourself. Seriously. The Bible openly declares that God is a Zionist, and that the kingdom He will usher in during the Millennium will be a Zionist kingdom. If you are anti-Zionist, not only are you antisemitic, you stand in opposition to God Himself. How ’bout that?

“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.” Romans 11:26,27 (KJB)

As we watch America struggling with a very fast rising tide of antisemitism, why don’t you pick a side and stay there? You see, I believe my Bible, and I know how it all winds up, who wins, and how it all will go when the end times dust settles. So here and now, by faith, I stand on the side of the King of the Jews, on the side of His chosen people, the Jews, and with the biblical, and literal, physical, and earthly Zion which is the City of David. Where do you stand?

Antisemitism Has Shockingly Morphed Into Anti-Jewish Terrorism As Attacks Around The World Directed At The Jews Reaches A Near All-Time High

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Don’t call it antisemitism, the outrageous attacks on Jews around the world since October 7th can only be called Anti-Jewish terrorism and it’s getting worse by the day

With each tick-tock of the end times clock, born again Christians draw closer and closer to the glorious catching away mentioned in the Bible we call the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church. But like we’ve long told you, that event when it happens will be like a helicopter rescue behind enemies lines where we will be so close to the ‘action’ that the tips of our shoelaces will be melting from the flames of battle. I have long believed we will be taken up and away in the midst of much ‘small t’ tribulation. But what about the Jews? They go into the time of Jacob’s trouble, which by all accounts, seems to be doing it’s level best to make an early appearance.

“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” Daniel 9:27 (KJB)

For most of the post-World War II era, the Western world liked to tell itself a comforting story: we learned our lesson. Never Again, right? The idea that antisemitism was an old demon chained up in the basement of history, something you might spot on the fringes, but never again in the daylight. However, just the opposite is true.

Because in 2025, antisemitism isn’t hiding in the basement. It’s walking the streets, showing up at schools, splashing across social media, and in too many places it has now crossed the line into outright terrorism and bloodshed. When the Jewish people must ring their synagogues with barricades and armed guards in nations that once promised “never again,” you are watching a moral collapse in real time and from the Bible’s standpoint, you’re also watching the spiritual hatred the Word of God has been warning about for thousands of years.

“Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.” Psalm 44:13,14 (KJB)

The hard part is that this new antisemitism often wears a suit, holds a microphone, and wraps itself in “activism” language. It frequently claims to be about Israel, or “Zionism,” or “politics.” But the pattern keeps revealing itself: when Jewish homes, Jewish schools, Jewish businesses, Jewish holidays, Jewish students, and Jewish worshippers become the target — it’s not “geopolitics.” It’s Jew-hatred.

A new multi-country benchmark, the J7 Annual Report on Antisemitism 2025, compares incident rates across seven of the largest Jewish communities outside Israel. On a per-capita basis, the report shows the scale of the problem is not evenly distributed — but it is widespread, and in some countries it is staggering. For example, Germany’s per-Jewish-capita incident rate in 2023 exceeded 38 incidents per 1,000 Jews, and the UK exceeded 13 per 1,000 in 2023; in Australia the rate jumps dramatically in 2024 (17.60 per 1,000), reflecting the post–Oct 7 shockwave rippling across societies.

United States: record-breaking totals and high-profile violence

ADL’s Audit of Antisemitic Incidents 2024, published in 2025, recorded 9,354 antisemitic incidents in 2024 in the United States — the highest number since ADL began tracking decades ago — with increases in assault and vandalism as well. Then in 2025, antisemitism didn’t just remain “an atmosphere.” It manifested in headline violence. The U.S. Department of Justice announced federal charges after the fatal shooting of two Israeli Embassy staff members outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. (May 21, 2025).

United Kingdom: still historically high — and targeted synagogue terror

In the first half of 2025, CST recorded 1,521 antisemitic incidents across the UK — the second-highest first-half total CST has ever reported. And CST notes that 51% of those incidents referenced or were linked to Israel/Palestine, Oct 7, or the ongoing conflict, showing how often “Israel talk” becomes the delivery mechanism for targeting Jews where they live. And in October 2025, Britain saw what many feared was coming: a terrorist attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur, which the UK Home Secretary called “an evil act of antisemitic terrorism.”

Australia: extreme levels for a second year — then the nightmare at Bondi

Australia’s national Jewish security reporting shows the same “new normal” pattern. The ECAJ Report on Anti‑Jewish Incidents in Australia 2025 documents 1,654 incidents from Oct 1, 2024 to Sept 30, 2025, with the report noting that totals remain about three times higher than any year before the post–Oct 7 wave.

Then came a fresh horror: on Dec 14, 2025, the New York Times reported gunmen opened fire at a Jewish holiday celebration at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, killing at least 15 people in what officials described as a targeted antisemitic attack. “Bondi has often been a place where Jews come to be a community together,” said Ms. Haber, 62. “This is our worst nightmare.”

Canada: “record-setting heights”

B’nai Brith Canada reported that 6,219 incidents targeting Jews were recorded in 2024, describing it as the highest number in the history of their audit (dating back to 1982).

Germany: “no decline” — 24 cases per day

Germany’s RIAS annual reporting (published in 2025 for 2024 data) recorded 8,627 antisemitic incidents in 2024, a 77% increase compared to the previous year — averaging 24 documented cases per day. It also states 68% of incidents were related to Israel and the Gaza war, and reports a major increase at universities (from 151 to 450).

France: elevated levels, even when year-over-year dips occur

France’s Interior Ministry reported 646 antisemitic acts in the first half of 2025 — down from the first half of 2024, but still more than double the same period in 2023. And France recorded 1,570 antisemitic acts in 2024 (still near the post–Oct 7 surge level). The point is not “which country is worst.” The point is that multiple countries with modern democratic institutions are reporting numbers that would have been unthinkable not long ago — and Jewish communities are living with it every day.

One of the dirtiest tricks of the age is linguistic. People will say, “I don’t hate Jews — I hate Zionists,” then they proceed to target Jewish students, Jewish institutions, and Jewish neighborhoods. The most chilling shift in 2025 is not just the raw totals. It’s the cultural mood. A society that once would have instantly and unanimously condemned antisemitism now too often argues about whether the Jews “deserved” the threat, or whether the victims were “connected to Israel,” or whether the hate crime label is “political.” It’s a stain that seems to be leaking out of every corner of social media with no end in sight. We stand with the Jews, we stand with the nation of Israel and we pray for the peace of Jerusalem. But we also tell them the truth about what’s still to come.

Christian, You Need To Pick A Side In This Rising Wave Of Jew Hatred And Choose Wisely, For You Will Give An Account At The Judgment Seat Of Christ

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

On American university campuses younger generations are displaying increasingly harsh antisemitic attitudes towards the Jews and Israel

All over the world, from college campuses to political chambers, antisemitism is exploding at a pace that even secular reporters are calling “historic.” In just the last few years the world has seen a dramatic, measurable, and undeniable spike in antisemitic incidents. Governments are reporting record-high hostility, universities are drenched in anti-Israel propaganda, and young adults on social media boldly repeat rhetoric that would have shocked the world twenty years ago.

“For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.” Zechariah 2:8 (KJB)

Many of these anti-Jewish voices are coming from people and groups that consider themselves to be Christian, yet paradoxically have intense hatred for the Jews from whom came the scriptures, and from whom came Jesus of Nazareth. The Bible calls Jesus the “king of the Jews”, and indeed He soon shall rule and reign from Jerusalem, much to the presumed dismay of mainstream Christianity in 2025.

What you are watching right now, in real time, is the spirit of Antichrist rising across the world, manifesting itself in a global surge of Jew-hatred not seen since the days leading up to World War II. It is no coincidence, it’s Bible prophecy. And if you know your King James Bible, then you already understand why this is happening, who is behind it, and exactly where it is heading.

What Should Bible Believers Do Right Now?

1. Stand With God’s People

Not politically, not sentimentally — biblically.

“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” — Genesis 12:3 (KJB)

2. Pray for the Salvation of the Jewish People

Their national turning to Christ comes at the end of the Tribulation — but individuals are being reached right now.

“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.” Romans 11:26,27 (KJB)

3. Understand the Times

We are not children of the night, so don’t stand in the darkness. We are commanded to watch and faithful.

“But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:4-5 (KJB)

4. Preach the Gospel With Urgency

The Rapture ends the Church Age. The clock is preparing to strike midnight.

“And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.” 1 Thessalonians 1:10 (KJB)

In closing, let me ask you a simple question, Christian. Do you really think that the Jewish Jesus, born in Bethlehem, the promised Son from the writings of the Old Testament prophets, and the One who will soon be ruling and reigning from the Throne of David in Jerusalem, doesn’t care how you treat His wayward but still-chosen people the Jews, the apple of His eye? Do you really think He will have nothing to say about what you have said about His holy land of Israel and Jerusalem? Because the Lord absolutely will have plenty to say to you about this at the Judgment Seat of Christ, so you might want to think about that. And not only think about it, but get ready now while you still have time.

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10 (KJB)
