31. ROMNEY WILL PREVAIL, OBAMA IS DESPISED
Zimbi ,   NJUSA   (12.27.11)
32. He's just saying what everyone else is thinking
Josh S ,   USA   (12.27.11)
Israelis should keep Ron Paul in mind whenever they are pressured by western leaders to make concessions.
33. So he wished
joe ,   Newtown, USA   (12.27.11)
Israel did not exist... it would be a better world if people like him did not exist
34. Well, he's a done deal: saying a State Shouldn't Exist?
Ezra ,   USA   (12.27.11)
No matter which state: for a (former) presidential contender to say such things and especially THINK those things? What an a$$. Having nothing to do with a Jewish vote (which is virtually insignificant in the US as far as numbers) the American population overwhelmingly supports Israel: Ron Paul's entire career is now over. He's forgotten history already. Moving on. Next...
35. Ah, hearsay... the basis of slander and liber everywhere.
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (12.27.11)
36. The Conservative "Isolationists" had a role in the Holocaust
k ,   US   (12.27.11)
never forget it was the Ron Paul's of the world who 70 years ago passed laws to prevent Jews from coming to the US at the same time wanted the US to have a peace treaty with Germany These are the same people who passed the "eugenics" laws and tried to build a "white supremacist" country in the US Ron Paul is the enemy of the Jews, if you do not think so just read his supporters speak their minds
37. The idiocy of Ron Paul!
Steven L. Edwards ,   Palm Springs, USA   (12.27.11)
Get used to it Ron, Israel does exist, and they are not going away, you might [to another line of work] but they aren't! No wonder we Americans are under judgment with nuts like you running around. Guess what, you ain't gonna be President either!
38. #12: you're a scary individual: perhaps US shouldn't exist?
Ezra ,   USA   (12.27.11)
After all: Americans murdered tens of thousands of native Americans. FAR more than all of the deaths of all of the wars Israel has ever fought on BOTH sides. Hypocrisy is easy for fools; practically second nature. Salute Ron Paul with your Nazi salute all u want: it will get you NOTHING. Enjoy the void.
39. I'll stick with Gingrich...
Beary White ,   Norway   (12.27.11)
the pals are invented and the jews are the true people of Israel. Ron Paul is the man who would offer the iranians friendship instead of sanchions. He also voted against the USA Patriot Act. He has been labelled a conservative and also a libertanian, which actual shows his unstable point of political position. He wil be no danger to Israel, just be doomed when he meets his superior legislator.
40. no news
Robert Vuik ,   IUtrecht, Holland   (12.27.11)
Most American politicians feel the same thing but have the guts to say what they feel. Ron Paul, chapeau. I have respect for your position.
41. What can you expect from WASPs?
Albert ,   Buenos Aires ARG   (12.27.11)
42. the upside down world
cristian ,   buenos aires arg   (12.27.11)
the title,the most important new ,the great words in the first page,it is always the bad news as spreading hatred to the minds on the other hand, good news as jews,muslims teams up on christmas,they are always hidden with little words where we must look for them,it seems that righteousness never sell and it does not matter how to get money but get it using bad intentions sowing evil ideas like propaganda,the upside down world never ends...
43. Ron Paul will sell US out in heartbeat
Cynthia ,   USA   (12.27.11)
Nothing patriotic about him. He's proud to stick his head in the sand and pretend the US doesn't have enemies or need allies. He squirms when anti-semitic, racist comments from newsletters he signed in the past are exposed. He has no solutions for national security and foreign policy and his shallow knowledge of ME realities is inexcusable. His comments on foreign policy during the last Republican debate should leave no doubt in anyone's mind that Ron Paul would be a disaster for the US.
44. ron paul isolationist
moron ,   GALUT   (12.27.11)
doesnt think anybody but u.s. is 'worth the cost'..but will only say this against jewish state....get ready american governments will not be more zionist than israelis or even american jews indefinately..reagan-bush was the best but jewsstill supported democrats' weak policies
45. Ron Paul
Golani ,   Vineland, USA/Israel   (12.27.11)
At least Ron Paul is too old to go very far. He is not a true Republican, and I could never bring myself to vote for him. Usually during an election when the current president is as bad as Obama, many people say that they would vote for anyone else. If Ron Paul were the candidate (a far fetched concept), I still could not vote for Obama, but I would never vote for a Ron Paul either. I would write in and vote for Mickey Mouse.
46. Israel would be a great country if
Ali Z ,   Washington, DC   (12.27.11)
they kept religion out of politics, with fair representation for all in the Kenneset, that means Hamas and Shas holding seats in the same government. Sounds impossible now but is the only way eventually.
47. This is what his supporters say
Beauchard   (12.27.11)
From a mainstream pro Ron Paul site: "I could also imagine Ron Paul saying at some point that 4.8 million Palestinians should not have been displaced, most on trains shipped towards Jordan, when Israel was created. that was a fiasco. when they did create israel, I wish they could have done so in a way that didn't so closely resemble what the nazis did to the jews when they hoarded them up and shipped them away on trains." Comment is unnecessary.
48. I cannot believe all of you people!!!
Mayer ,   givat Shmuel   (12.27.11)
Do a little fact checking before you people comment!! And YNET should be ashamed of the tone of this article. Look at any of Ron Paul's votes and policies. He is the ONLY candidate who is pro-Israel. Ron Paul has declared, numerous times, that Israel and the Palestinians need to work out their problems internally with no interference from the US or Europe. He would cut off foreign aid to both Israel and her enemies - a NET GAIN for Israel since the Arabs receive twice the aid that she does. Further, saying Israel is more trouble than it is worth says nothing about policies or what should happen. It simply says on a cost benefit analysis it is not worth it. Ron Paul supports Israel's right to bomb Iran and was THE ONLY member of the US gov't to not condemn Israel in the 80s when they bombed Iraq. It appears to me that YNET is run by the same big gov't statist types that run the US media. Their strategy is to not engage in debates about the actual policies and positions, but rather to spread lies and falsities in order to enrage people against him. This will FAIL!! There is too much truth on the Internet to counter this load of crap.
49. Bye Bye Ron Paul!
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (12.27.11)
Not that he had a snowball's chance in hell of being anything more than what he already is - a has-been-politician - he just kissed his political career and future goodbye.
50. Ron Paul- yea or nay
Arnold ,   Canada   (12.27.11)
I read that Ron Paul wants to stop all aid to Israel as well as the Arab States. I am with him on that. I think Israel can support herself if the USA allows Israel freer trade with any nation . Right now the USA limits Israel's trade with certain countries in the realm of arms deals. BUT. If it is true that Ron Paul said that about Israel then let the man die a slow and painful death crying for mercy.
51. Paul's policy agenda=national suicide
MARK KLEIN, M.D. ,   OAKLAND, CA   (12.27.11)
To abolish the Federal Reserve to return to the gold standard would plunge this country into a permanent depression. The dollar would become worthless. Wouldn't take for the "Turner Diaries" crazies backing Ron Paul to turn America into a waste land controlled by armed thugs.
52. The WORST is yet to come.
Ken Quinn ,   Amsterdam   (12.27.11)
53. The same Eric Dondero that was FIRED by Ron Paul?
james Teague ,   Dallas, TX   (12.27.11)
Oh! The Eric Dondero that was FIRED by Ron Paul and has tried to smear him ever since as a disgruntled employee. Yeah BIG creedence in this story. Puhlease.
54. ron paul
jon ,   usa   (12.27.11)
Ron Paul already has all the votes to become president. Anyone who says anything negative about Ron Paul is either a government shill or misinformed.
55. ron Paul--anti-semite, anti-gay, anti-black
bob ,   potomac md usa   (12.27.11)
the three charges in the title of my response have been known for years. the website Little Green Footballs (the one that discovered the Dan Rather fraud over George W. Bush's military service)--His own newsletters (which he denies having seen, despite the fact that he is listed as editor in chief) make fun of gays with aides, denigrate blacks, make all kinds of anti-Je3wish remarks--even to the piont of defending the koo-koo anti-semitic chess player Bobby Fisher--No, Paul is further to the right than any other presidential candidate--and further to the right than the Tea Party movement--he is staunchly with the John Birchers and Pat Buchanan.
56. Paul do us a favor.......
Robert ,   Farmington,wv   (12.27.11)
Let’s make it clear, America needs Israel. Israel doesn’t need America; America as a whole has become a godless country. Lead by godless people, picked by godless people. The Funny thing about it is when the last missile on earth is launched Israel will still be around America won’t, this claim can be backup by just reading the bible. Now the question is? Is America worth protecting with Israel’s defense forces and the mossad after all if it wasn’t for the jews we would have every terrorist group there was here in America. Paul just do us a favor and shut up , you are beginning to make us look bad.
57. Complacency
Sigmund   (12.27.11)
The USA needs challanges and toughened allies lest it fall asleep.Ron Paul will put the USA in a drug induced coma with his slack libetarian hedonism.
58. The jig is up
e jones ,   new york   (12.27.11)
What did you morons think, freebies forever???
59. You would have thought they would have
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (12.27.11)
excluded Obama also. What Paul says publicly....Obama does behind Israels back. I have to deal with Netanyahu all the time....his statement to Sarkosy. I don't see much difference between either of them if elected. Ron Paul tells you he will watch Rome Burn. Barack Obama stands in front of Rome....facing away from the carnage and burning......Reads a prepared speech from his Tele Prompter......and tells the Romans......We can't spare a fire engine.....but we'll be thinking of you in our prayers. It's where Obama prays...that has become the issue at hand.
60. If you recall....The United States had to be
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (12.27.11)
dragged...kicking and screaming into WWII. This mentality of isolationalism is not new. What will be interesting is if the Democratic Isolationalists join in and vote for him. The entire Democratic Party voted in Obama to stop the war.....to get out of other countries...and to stay home. If this guy pulls votes from both parties...and people become fed up enough in the United States about the direction of the country........he could pull it off. He's not any different than Obama. He tells you what he is going to do.....while Obama doesn't say anything....and follows the same path. This guy can be more of a threat than anyone ever imagined. The Democrats may get the guy they wanted in office after voting for Obama. The guy who will never go to war.
