Another Jewish man about to convert to Ron Paul

The title and subject of this post is so absurd that I refrained from commenting, but here is this post resurfacing it's head again.

Think about it: How many other races/ethnicity group/etc. would dare to speak in such bold (and absurd) terms.

Another Black man about to convert to Ron Paul....

Why do Jews think that they are so great and meaningful to everything?

Nothing in the US Constitution requires that Americans pay for the State of Israel or support its right to exist.

The attempt to throttle or prevent discussion of Zionism and American policy in the ME either by accusations of anti-Semitism or by scare-mongering about the Islamo-fascist threat or similar techniques should offend all lovers of freedom.

We have never had a free open discussion about Zionism and the State of Israel in the USA. Until that discussion takes place, it is intellectually dishonest to claim that Americans support Israel.

I am willing to engage anyone in a discussion of Zionism or Jewish history, and I maintain a website for Ethnic Ashkenazim Against Zionist Israel if anyone is interested. Philip Weiss maintains a website Mondoweiss with the topic "Iraq comes home: the war of ideas, by Philip Weiss." He discusses topics related to the Israel Lobby and the American Jewish Community.

Because Ron Paul has made his foreign policy position crystal clear, anyone that wants to get into detailed discussion of Zionist, Jewish historical, or Jewish communal issues that are irrelevant to the RP08 campaign should probably visit my website, Philip Weiss's web site or any of the innumerable websites addressing similar topics.

We can all hope as libertarians, lovers of the American Constitution or supporters of Ron Paul, that open discussion of all important political questions will become the American norm after Ron Paul's election.

we are voting for a man whose integrity honesty and heart is seldom seen especially in politics...I agree with the letter.
There is always some hate filled folks a fringe...because whenever Light arises darkness tries to darken it.

RP08 to restore the Constitution

I support Dr. Paul because he will be the best for the future of this country! I don't care about the bigots...I ignore them!" They are everywhere! Even in Israel!

Also, Dr. Paul is not an isolationist, he is for non-intervention unless supported by Congress and the American People. The majority of the American People support Israel!

And that non-intervention philosophy includes the entire world, not just the Middle East. We would get out of Korea and other countries as well. Beside, Israel proved during the 6 day war that they are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves.

Whenever I despair, I remember that the way of truth and love has always won. There may be tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they may seem invincible, but in the end, they always fail. Think of it: always"

First read this and note this group refused to take up the 501c3 mark which controls what they might say. More churches should follow this example and be free to say what they wish. The fact that the Treasury can control the speech of any relgious group because it allows its tax free status through the 501c3 entity is a joke, because at the same time the goverment says there must be separtion of church and state. Curch and State are in fact locked at the hip due to money and taxes.

The US Jewish population is reported to be between 2-3% . The number of Jewish US Senators is 13 out of 100 or 13% of which 2 out of 13 are Republican. There are 30 Jewish Congressmen out of 435 or almost 7% of which 1 out of 30 is a Republican.

Clearly Jewish interest are more than well represented and does not include people currently in the Executive Branch or other branches of government like Chertoff, Bolten, Mukasey, Bernanke and others before them like Rubin, Summers, Greenspan, Friedman, Wolfensohn, Fleischer, Wolfowitz, Albright, Berger, Weinberger.

Considerable sums of money are sent each year to support Israel and its security. Dr Paul's record is there for all to see and hear. Yet despite all the influence the Jewish population has on the US and government policy, it seems this country can not give enough as the old anti semite card is always being played and a man of character and honesty can never provide enough to attract the Jewish vote for a libertarian Republican.

If Paul's record does not represent your values, then vote for the candidate of your choice.

And 100 percent Paul.. Liberty is not based on race period. If you are HUMAN.. you intrinsicly by your very nature endowed with liberty. And if you have liberty and Paul will protect it.. then he is protecting everyone in the worlds liberty not only for us but from us to the world..

Race is part of you liberty.. because it is you and me. but Liberty is NOT race.. it is intrinsic to the human condition.

I agree. My roomate is Israeli and she donated 50 dollars after I told her about Paul. Please don't judge anyone on what they are but who they are. Wolfowitz Silverstein, yeah they are bad men but there are plenty of non jews that are just as bad. Every race has it's blacksheep and it's scapegoating to blame our problems on any group of people. I will never use the word Zionist and I agree whole heartedly with this post

it should be. but i don't feel it is. it should be getting these people together to talk about the future they wish for their children. look what happened when the people in northern ireland and south africa started to talk and think of future generations. the time is now to stop all the hatred and blood shed. time to put down the guns and talk. this is what ron paul's message is all about.

American citizens have always supported their families in other lands. If that means sending money to Mexico, or to Ireland, or Macedonia, or Israel. But no American has the right to use the force of government to coerce other citizens to do so.

Since 9-11, anti-jewish sentiment has been growing exponentially. People are growing increasingly frustrated with the middle eastern conflicts and are starting to question where jews allegiances lie. They see senators Lieberman constantly pushing for war with Iran. They see Diane Feinstein and Chuck Schumer voting for Mukasey essentially shocking the democrats while condoning torture. They see the power AIPAC has over Congress and the presidential candidates. This is a serious concern all jews in America should have.

Ron Pauls foreign policy is very neutral. It does not favour one country over another. It will bring peace and prosperity to our country and would repair any anti-sentiment towards Americans from the Islamic world and anti-sentiment towards jews in America. Most Muslims are moderate. 98% of muslims are peace loving moderates. It is Ameirca's involvement in the middle east that generates more recruits for the likes of Al Queda.
Israel needs to be more responsive to its neighbors, and that will never happen as long as AIPAC and America is involved.

I'm 100% Jewish and voting for Ron Paul.

I spoke to my grandparents (Who are all Holocaust survivors) about Ron Paul.
Even they understand that America isn't looking out for the interests of Israel.

When I told them that for every $1 we give to Israel, we give $3 to the Arabs... that's it they were sold.

We all know how capable the Israelis are, and even if America stops giving aid to them, Israel will be able to take care of itself.

America has no business telling Israel what it can and cannot do.

As for the others who keep mentioning the word "Zionists", please stop.

I'm Jewish and I care about the state of Israel, but I'm not part of this One World government, or a member of the CFR. I'm quite the opposite. I'm against those insane ideas and organizations.

Ron Paul website. I googled it to see and it was real nice maybe you could go there as well for information. I am not Jewish but the way I see the Constitution covers EVERYONE.

Either you believe what the prophet Jeremiah says in Chp. 17 or not.

Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust.....but cursed is the man who puts his trust in the arm of the flesh ( military might, man's protection).

The God of Abraham is still capable of defending and providing for the ENTIRE house of Israel, both Judah and Ephraim. Judah is not the ONLY tribe that Yah looks and cares after.

It is time for those who truly call themselves after the HOLY NAME of Yahweh to walk their talk and start depending on Him and Him alone for their protection instead of any nation. America is not Israel's provider or protector only Yahweh is.

Shalom

Ron Paul has some wise words on foreign aid (especially for the Middle East) at www.lewrockwell.com/paul/... and www.zionistsforronpaul.bl... One quote here from the blog spot : "Yet while we call ourselves a strong ally of the Israeli people, we sent billions in foreign aid to some Muslim states that many Israelis regard as enemies. From the Israeli point of view, many of these same Islamic nations we fund with our tax dollars want to destroy the Jewish state. Many average Israelies and American Jews see America as hypocritically hedging its bets." He goes on to say UN and other outsider imposed plans bring no hope for lasting peace.

why America needs Ron Paul. Anyone living on American soil should be concerned with the United States' welfare first and foremost. We have too many mixed allegiances here and that is part of the problem. When you move to a foreign land you adopt that place as your new home. And when you become a citizen, you take an oath aligning your allegiances with that country. You defend and protect that country, not the land where you came from. The reason being if America were to go to war for any reason with the country you came from, which side wuld you defend? This is no place to fence sit and frankly most Americans are tired of foreigners coming here and thrusting their demands of a homeland on them. THIS is your homeland and if it isn't you shouldn't be here. I was born and raised here and my allegiance is here and not even the country my parents came from. This is my nationality period. Maybe Zionists need to change their attitude towards Americans and realize that to us this is our homeland and that we also have a right to it. And if Zionists are so dedicated to Israel why are they not in Israel working to improve conditions in the country they love so much? I have heard Zionists say that they would die for Israel, but the question I have is, would they die for America?

He is anti-unconstitutional war. He wants the power of war to stay with the people, not the president.

He is also against official, certified, entangling alliances. But he is not against declaring war when that war is justified.

If Israel were really in need, and our national security truly threatened, AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT TO DO IT, then Ron Paul is completely accepting of a declared war, for example, if the middle east decided to gang up and try to destroy Israel. It is unlikely that will happen since Israel's defense is the second best in the world. The declared war would have a declared mission with a definite ending. But we will make no official legal promises to defend them or send them money. We will also get out of their way when they want to defend themselves.

Yesterday I found yet another strong evidence from Wikipedia:

Here it goes:

Brandao (Brandão) is a Portuguese surname, from the three hebrew particles: Bar-An-Dan. Bar (that means : 'son'); Am or An (that means: 'tribe') and Dan ( that means: 'Dan') - Son of the Tribe of Dan: Bar-An-Dan - BarAnDan : Brandão.

So, there you go. An Essene jew here sick and tired of the Sadducees taking our money and our freedoms so they grow richer and more dominant! This has been going on for millennia! I think it's time to stop them!

Zionism is a philosophy of Jewish Supremacism. My husband is a scholar who has read thousands of books in the original Hebrew and Yiddish. Zionism is a pre-planned agenda to wipe out Palestine and replace it with an ethnic nation state. It is based on terrorizing people who are not Jewish into fleeing their homes and then erasing the property rights of Christians and Muslims and disenfranchising them.

That said, we have a lot of other racists in the Ron Paul Revolution. Not a problem. You have the freedom to believe you are more human than us. But we have the right to bear arms against you if you try any of that **** here. Keep your bulldozer away from my house and your machine gun out of my kids' face. And by the way, your Wall around Bethlehem looks a lot like the Communist Berlin Wall with all that barbed wire and watchtowers

In the media this past week there was a blatant attempt to smear the Ron Paul campaign with implications of racism and anti-Semitism. This is as a result of a minor contribution made to the campaign by a contributor with a supposed connection to a white supremacy group. The contribution was $500. How do I call this minor? This is relative to the $26,000,000 raised by the campaign to date. How this $500 contribution is newsworthy of a national syndicated columnist is incomprehensible.

In spite of this, there are a large number of Jewish supporters of the Ron Paul Campaign who do not buy into these tactics and have formed their own group and website at http://www.jews4ronpaul.o....

In response to these recent smear attempts to link Ron Paul to an alleged Nazi sympathizer, I am prompted to respond. After reading numerous books by Ron Paul and reading hundreds of speeches and articles at www.RonPaulLibrary.org, I am certain about this one thing. Ron Paul abhors everything to do with socialism, fascism and the inherent evil embodied in Nazism or any tyrannical government.

Many Jewish people understand the threat that the Nazi regime posed to a freedom loving people and witnessed the devastating effects of Hitler’s socialism. Few today understand that Nazi is the abbreviation of National Socialism. Today we as Americans are once again confronted with two ideologies: Liberty and National Socialism. Socialism is represented here in America by nationalized health care, a centrally controlled economy, high taxation and a redistribution of wealth mentality. Fascist Socialism is represented by intense government intrusion into our businesses, personal lives and the growing national police state.

One of the first things that Hitler did to gain power was to convince people of the terrorist threat coming from the communists. In fact, the Nazi’s burned down the German capital, blamed it on the Communists and used this event to rally the Germans to suspend the constitution and give Hitler unbridled power. The Socialist controlled parliament then suspended the constitution and gave Hitler the ability to allow German troops to be used against the German Jews. Here in America we have recently passed a very similar law called the Defense Authorization Act of 2007. Ron Paul fought against this Act.

Additionally, the Germans passed laws to allow the Nazi's to read Jew’s mail and to search their homes and businesses. This law is very similar to the USA Patriot Act. Ron Paul fought the passage of this Act.

The Germans then passed laws allowing Hitler to declare Jews and other citizens’ enemy combatants. They were then rounded up, denied the Right of Habeas Corpus, tortured and sentenced to death. All without the ability to confront witnesses or evidence against them, based upon secret testimony and without counsel. Currently American Citizens deemed as enemy combatants can receive similar treatment under our Military Commissions Act of 2006. Ron Paul fought the passage of this Act.

The Germans required all Jews to have identification. This will be required in America starting May 2008 with the National ID Card required under the Real ID Act. Ron Paul fought the passage of the Real ID Act.

Hitler then created a secret loyal military police force called SS. Recently we have witnessed the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and the new quasi military police force, not accountable to Congress, called Blackwater. Prior to Hitler, the German Republic was called the “Republic”. Then, in an effort to promote German nationalism, Hitler changed all references to the nation to “The Fatherland.” Now in an effort to promote American Nationalism we have “The Homeland.” Please read Naomi Wolf’s new book titled Letter to a Young American Patriot and Judge Andrew Napolitano’s book A Nation of Sheep.

Now, this past week an even more ominous piece of legislation stealthfully passed through the U.S. House of Representatives and is now before the US Senate http://www.govtrack.us/co.... Like these others pieces of legislation, it was in the sheep’s clothing of a patriotic sounding name, The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. This Act is one of the most blatant assaults against the Constitution in that it defines an American Citizen who holds an “extremist” thought or viewpoint as a “homegrown terrorist” and specifically targets the civilian population of the United States by use of a vague definition of homegrown terrorism. The problem with the word “extreme” is that it is relative. To a socialist - liberty is extreme, to an atheist - Judaism or Christianity is extreme, to a pro life supporter -abortion is extreme, to an environmentalist - property rights are extreme. Thus, we will witness the Department of Homeland Security arbitrarily defining extremism and placing law abiding Americans on a watch list as a result of their “extremist” views. Our foreign enemies seek to undermine our Constitution and so does this legislation. Thus, this legislation promotes the efforts of our foreign enemies. Please contact your US Senator and demand a stop to this Treasonous/ Unconstitutional legislation. Find your Senator here: http://www.senate.gov/gen....

Jewish people – please do not be mislead. We must fight for liberty and freedom and against the fascist and socialistic elements working their way into our great nation. Ron Paul’s campaign is based upon a philosophy of liberty and freedom. Ron Paul, liberty and freedom abhor socialism, fascism and all that the Nazi party represented. Keep in mind; the Germans were at parties, the opera, and sporting events, enjoying prosperity and the great society while all of these laws were being changed. Those who were identifying what was happening in Germany and warning the Jews and German people were labeled as kooks by the National Socialist. Don’t believe everything you hear. Read and investigate for yourself. Stand up for liberty. Vote Ron Paul.

I am not anti-Israel, I am pro-America. I am frustrated with subsidizing the middle-east and Israel and think that American foreign policy is part of the problem. America needs to stay out of other peoples business.

I think there are many Americans that are using incorrect terminology but Jewish Extremism doesn't sound much better what would you call it? I would be interested to know. I thought it was understood that Zionism was an extreme form of Judaism. Please educate me!

"It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams

that Ron Paul's non-interventionist ideas are not a pretext for being anti-Israel. He makes the point that Arab nations collectively get 3 times the foreign aid of Israel. His non-interventionist beliefs are deeply seated in the Constitution and the advice of the founding fathers. That I am sure.

Secondly, one doesn't have to agree with all of Ron Paul's supporters to agree with Ron Paul.

Thirdly, I believe we are all routinely manipulated under banners of patriotism and/or religious values - be we Jewish, Christian or otherwise. For that reason, the more we learn about the mechanisations at work in the world to enslave us, the more we will find out that we are all on the same side.

I too find the Zionist comments offensive. I think that Ron Paul’s position is clear. He opposes all foreign aid. I agree. That does not mean just Israel but all nations. I think that Israel can take care of itself. I am an American and I would no more want to go the aid of Germany who my ancestors came from anymore than I would to Israel, Taiwan and Japan etc. In a Constitutional government you as a citizen are free to give your money to anyone or any country you wish, but not my money. I support all people’s right to freedom and it goes without saying to exist. People who are filled with hate have their own reasons right or wrong. This is a problem of the spirit. Ron Paul can't be responsible for the feelings of all people who like his message of freedom. He has stated on numerous occasions that he finds the view of racists to be abhorrent to lovers of individual freedom and liberty.

I always cringe when hearing people toss the term "Zionist" around like it's an insult. It reminds me of how I feel when democrats make a dirty word out of "Republican." The truth is that both parties have been hijacked by extremists.

If you get beyond the obvious smear tactics used by some people like Bill Kristol and the fringe comments made by "supporters" then you can clearly see that Dr. Paul does not intend to treat Israel any differently than other nations. While some people will see the benefits in this, others will buy into the idea that this makes him anti-Israel.

This could not be further from the truth. Ron Paul has stated that he believes the current foreign policy laws are hurting Isreal and he would like to give them back their sovereignty. Just as there are people in the US who still believe that the war is good and righteous, there are people in Isreal who think that alignment with the United States is in Israel's best interest.

I'm glad to hear that there are people working on setting the record straight in regards to this.

Keep up the good work.

Shalom.

I love Israel and have spent a bit of time there. Israelis are people just like Americans. Saying all Israelis want war is like saying all Americans want war with Iran. I think a lot of kids reading the internet have been taken in by "The elders of the protocols od Zion" It makes me very sad to see. We should always keep focused in our struggles against the empire, Christian, Jew, Muslim, and athiest together.

I just came back from Israel yesterday. I was on Israeli radio on Dec 31 promoting Ron Paul and Israeli independence. As long as Israel believes it is dependent on American aid it is not Independent. If Israel must ask America for approval for its actions then it is not sovereign.

America doesn't have an interest in a real peace process. On the contrary: America has a very large interest in the war process, providing weapons and explosives to everyone to guarantee continual profits. The people who do this delude themselves into thinking they are providing for security when they are really fueling both sides of a war.

The force of Globalism is what the Jewish people have fought against for the past 4 millennium: remember the Maccabees resisting Hellenization the next time you pass by a McDonald's in Jerusalem.

In todays military we do not need to be anywhere to respond in a time of need, we can have boot on the ground anywhere in the world within a couple of hours, so being there to back up Isreal is still possible. As far as Isolationism goes we do not intend to be isolationist, just less of a antaganist we should not prevent the peace talks between Isreal and the Arab nations, you guys know what you need better than we do, the people of the nations involved should be able to decide for yourselves what should be done. Our only interest is the Oil in the region let no one tell you different.
The young people of today feel that if we were just left to deal with the problems we could actually get along with each other.
