America on Israel’s Altar

by PAUL J. BALLES on 01/10/2012

The Boston Globe called U.S. presidential candidate Ron Paul a "Republican maverick".

The label has been attached to Paul primarily because he differs from the other Republican presidential candidates on foreign policy. Said The Globe after the presidential debate In Des Moines, Iowa on December 10th:

"While most of the Republican candidates are open to military action against Iran, Paul advocates diplomacy. While several of the candidates oppose cutting the defence budget, Paul wants to slash it. Paul was one of the only candidates in the debate to oppose extending the Patriot Act."

For those unfamiliar with the Patriot Act, it was enacted presumably to help fight terrorism after 9/11 while sacrificing individual rights.

According to The Globe,

"Dean Spiliotes, an independent political analyst from New Hampshire, said Paul's foreign policy contradicts core Republican tenets of strong national security and defence. But it appeals to Americans who are tired of war and focused on economic issues."

The foreign policy differences between Ron Paul and his adversaries make him an ideal candidate for those tired of America's war hawks bankrupting the country.

During the Republican candidates' debate, Paul didn't believe Israel would actually strike Iran--but if it did, "we need to get out of their way," he cautioned.

"When they want to have peace treaties, we tell them what they can do because we buy their allegiance and they sacrifice their sovereignty to us," admonished Paul.

"They decide they want to bomb something?" asked Paul. "That's their business, but they should suffer the consequences. Israel has 200--300 nuclear missiles and they can take care of themselves."

For an American politician to make comments like that took courage. The one that followed would certainly upset American Israeli supporters:

"We don't even have a treaty with Israel. Why do we have this automatic commitment that we're going to send our kids and send our money endlessly to Israel?"

In the debate, the other candidates were falling all over themselves, attempting to show their dedication to Israel. The leading candidate, Mitt Romney groaned:

"There's no price which is worth an Iranian nuclear weapon. And the right course is to show that we care about Israel, that they are our friend; we'll stick with them."

This is the same pre-emptive war hawk rubbish that Bush and Cheney and the Zioncons fed the public as the way to combat terrorism when, in fact, they were telling Israel and its lobbies that America will eternally fight Israel's wars.

Promised Romney,

"If I'm president of the United States, my first foreign trip will be to Israel to show the world we care about that country and that region."

The Republican candidates, except Ron Paul, all go overboard in their attempts to prove to the supporters in America that they will serve the interests of Israel at any cost.

Of course, the rest of the world doesn't need to be shown that the U.S. cares about Israel. The only politician unwilling to sacrifice America for Israel is Ron Paul.

The American Arab Anti-discrimination Committee (ADC) recently illustrated the problem with Republicans' unabated support for Israel:

"Among politicians, Newt Gingrich called the Palestinian people an 'invented people', Eric Cantor said that Palestinian culture was 'infused with hatred and resentment,' and Mitt Romney said that he would consult with Benjamin Netanyahu in making U.S. policy toward Palestinians because, apparently, Israel does not have enough say in U.S. policy toward the Middle East."

If Ron Paul miraculously receives continuing strong support, his voting public will be tired of sacrificing America on Israel's altar.

It is one of the big reasons Ron Paul will get no traction. People are brain washed that Israel is our friend and ally and we have to sacrifice our riches and blood for them. We will get the status quo.

RP - Happy retirement to you.

He does deserve it. Coma back home Ron Paul when you are done. We love you and welcome you home.

what is america sacrificing for Israel? did you know most of the weapon technology us uses, came from Israel in dealing with terrorist like Hamas, PLO. inovations such as the telephone, optics, guided missiles tech and hummas.

what has come out from Iran, pal, Iraq, afghan..death just pain. we as Americans are dealing with so many issues that extremest have started. deficit, loss of innocent lives, post tremtic stress, a divided country. this was all started extremest that only see there view and not any others. it's a shame that people who where so great at one time fell so low do to the zealots.

plus iran will do something first, then the world will be in the mix. nuclure war affects us all. plus if they declare strike that reaches Israel, you know the west bank and gaza and all other countries around it will suffer.

it's funny how extremist don't care if a humanity dies around them, just to say hey we won. very childish and primitive thinking.

$3+ billion dollars of US tax payer dollars a year that goes to Israel. Some of that is my money. Not to mention Israel has been busted god only knows how many times of espionage here in the US.

I'm all for Israel being a state, etc... but lets keep to reality. What the US does see in Israel other than APIAC is it's the less of two evils in the Middle East. I mean try and find one Arab country that's not a basket case run by either religious nutters or dictators. Good luck on that one.

Now I know why I keep coming back to this forum. Education.

We need to bring our troops home now and stop all aid to going to any country. This being a so called world police force is too expensive and will be our destruction unless we stop. The countries then in that region or even got a dog in the fight or now can use diplomacy to settle their quarrels. They will not do so unless we allow it. We have no good reason to be there so belligerency and saying who rules or not. It is their own affairs and let them settle it. No one can stop the U.S. of doing a thing. We rule the world right now and it has pissed everyone off. We need to just come home and then start over. We will stay stronger than anyone else.

It would be awesome if we tried to extend our wealth to our own hemisphere here and enrich the whole America's.

The cell phone was developed in Israel by Motorola, which has its largest development center in Israel. I know many a pwoplw who work there.

Lots of money and dead US servicemen...case in point: USS Liberty

what has can come out from Iran, Iraq, afghan

Oil, gas, pipelines

Maybe even friendship if we would allow it.

[AMP 54]

That is a joke.

1) Iran = The last time we where friends Iran had a King.

2) Iraq = We put the guy in power and he attacked out friends

3) afgan = 9/11, also after we helped them fight off the soviets

So they will give the US 5-10 yrs of friedship and then its attach the infadels?

Wow after so much help the US gives you already, you even have the adacity to say "..if we would all it"!

It all depends as tho how Iran acts, will the sactions that the UN puts on it help with curbing thier Uranium enrichment. We just have to see what crazy Iran will do. WE can only speculate what everybodies involvement will be.

You dont know if Iran will fire Nuclure weapons and then the death toll will be outrages in US, Eroupe and middle east. We have better negotiations with North Korea then Iran.

Also you cannot put the USS Liberty into this. Friendly fire is a sad but it happens in war and that was what USS Liberty was. Do you think we did not have that in Iraq or Afgan?

In regards to Oil yes atleast Iraq and Iran have that, but once that is gone what will you have then come from there. What inovating item has come from the middle east besides HUMMUS?
