LONG TIME RON PAUL STAFFER SAYS: RELAX- HIS BOSS ISN'T ANTI-SEMITIC, JUST ANTI-ISRAEL
(and also thinks the US was wrong to fight WWII)
Excerpts from the column written by Eric Dondero. ...
Is Ron Paul an Anti-Semite? Absolutely No. As a Jew, (half on my mother’s
side), I can categorically say that I never heard anything out of his mouth, in
hundreds of speeches I listened too over the years, or in my personal presence
that could be called, “Anti-Semite.” No slurs. No derogatory remarks.
He is however, most certainly Anti-Israel, and Anti-Israeli in general.
He wishes the Israeli state did not exist at all. He expressed this to me
numerous times in our private conversations. His view is that Israel is more
trouble than it is worth, specifically to the America taxpayer. He sides with
the Palestinians, and supports their calls for the abolishment of the Jewish
state, and the return of Israel, all of it, to the Arabs.
...
Ron Paul is most assuredly an isolationist. He denies this charge
vociferously. But I can tell you straight out, I had countless
arguments/discussions with him over his personal views. For example, he
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. When pressed, he often times brings
up conspiracy theories like FDR knew about the attacks of Pearl Harbor weeks
before hand, or that WWII was just “blowback,” for Woodrow Wilson’s foreign
policy errors, and such.
