Jews for Ron Paul

Here are some articles (links and excerpts) that collectively aim to persuade the reader of the benefits of Ron Paul’s non-interventionist foreign policy objectives for the State of Israel. The main point: Were Ron Paul to end all foreign aid to Israel and all other countries receiving such aid, in dollar terms Israel would actually be strengthened. In short, Ron Paul’s policy on foreign aid is good for Israel. I see the value of such non-intervention not so much in terms of the relative strengthening of Israel but rather in terms of how it would increase the likelihood of serious moves toward negotiated peace amongst the relevant regional participants. Strengthened or not, I’m inclined to view Israel standing on its own amongst Arab and Muslims nations, as promoting beneficial trade relations rather than promoting detrimental expansionist actions. U.S. foreign aid is largely U.S. meddling in the sovereignty of nations. It never seems to serve the interests of peace. The meddling is more likely intended to foster various kinds of discord and instability deemed of value to an Imperial America worldview. I think we’ve had about enough of that murderous mentality.

An Open Letter to the Jewish Community in Behalf of Ron Paul - Dr. Paul by no means would single out the single country of Israel for an elimination of foreign aid. Much to the contrary, his is a thorough-going plan that would end this pernicious program for all countries. Indeed, each and every nation on the face of the earth that had been receiving U.S. tax dollars would be told that their ride on this particular gravy train had ended. Would this hurt Israel? - by Walter Block - 11/03/07 - LewRockwell
