The Candidates on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

[BrckBrln]

Here is a good explanation on where the candidates stand on Israel.

Take note of Ron Paul's stance. :) y

Quite a few of the positions surprised me. This is something everyone should read through!

Thank you for posting it.

You can also click on Issue Tracker at the top there and see what the candidates stand on other issues. I encourage all the Ron Paul supporters to look at his stances and tell me would you still vote for him?

I am thoroughly convinced that the NWO is firmly in control and the only candidates that will be made available for us to vote on will be on board with the NWO and so it won't really matter who we vote for - their agenda will continue.

I am not longer simply cynical - I am convinced.

As I have so stated in other posts, I thought I liked Ron Paul until I heard his position on Israel. (It's a deal breaker for me) He begins to sound like Kucinich on the use of our military. He sounds like a "lets hold hands, sing Kumbaya, and pray for peace and we can acheive anything." As nice as that sounds, God tells us through scripture man cannot acheive peace and Christ will be sent to save us from ourselves. So his position is anti-scriptural, as is Kucinichs.

I couldn't agree more. And what does everybody think of Joe Biden? His stance on Israel is very good and I like his stance on the Darfur crisis. In one debate he was almost screaming that we need to do something about Darfur and I agree.

I hope more of the Ron Paul supporters who are Christians see his stance on Israel as it is unacceptable.

I think there is an issue that is of equal importance to God and that is the protection of life - the unborn. Joe Biden is a pro-baby killer and because of that he does not deserve any Christian's vote.

Bingo Ruth! As much as I like Joe Biden's personna, I cannot support anyone who fights for the right to destroy unborn life. EVER!

Yeah I forgot about the whole abortion thing.

It's God's country though. They are God's people and we as a nation, a strong nation, should help them out. Even if you don't believe that it is still good for the region and our interests if we help them out so they stay as a nation. Ron Paul is a crack pot to me. I despise the guy. I'm only glad that I know he doesn't stand a chance in the election.

RP wants to turn his back on Israel. I wouldn't care if Israel had more nukes than America, you don't turn on Gods' people. Israel still needs a lot of help. RP wants America to 'mind it's own business' and while that sounds good it's not. What would happen if we were to 'mind our own business' and all the nations of the world form together while we do nothing because it's not our business and then they overtake us and kill every one of us. Does that sound good to you?

Also, doesn't RP want to get rid of the CIA and FBI? Yeah, I'm sure that would work out. RP is not fit to lead this country and he doesn't stand a chance thank God.

Rep. Paul (R-TX) has criticized U.S. “meddling” in the Middle East, which, he says, “has only intensified strife and conflict” He has said U.S. financial aid to Middle Eastern countries is only “adding fuel to the fire” and is “foolish and unconstitutional.” Though he advocates some U.S. diplomatic role in brokering an end to violence in the West Bank, he says the U.S. “should draw the line at any further entanglement.”

Paul spoke out against a July 2006 House resolution condemning attacks on Israel and “supporting Israel’s right to defend herself.” He argued that the resolution’s “strong message” could lead to an escalation of the war between Israel and Lebanon.

That is RP stance on Israel. That is not how we should do business. But it doesn't matter because like I said before, the man doesn't stand a chance and I am eternally grateful for that.

I know, pressuring Israel is wrong and it shouldn't happen but leaving her in the dark is not the answer.
