Ron Paul gives his reaction to the recent violence in the Middle East with Israel’s invasion of Gaza, along with its implications for the United States. He correctly points out that, given the large amounts of foreign aid to Israel, the U.S. will likely be blamed for the current crisis, and that we can expect to suffer the consequences. He also brilliantly ties this crisis with our overall foreign policy of interventionism and pre-emptive war, and our overall foreign policy with the current financial crisis, reminding us that in reality this is one very large, multifaceted issue. He also gives his predictions for what we might expect in the coming year, including possible massive inflation when foreign countries financing our debt choose to start rejecting the dollar.
When I first got into politics out of high school, I sympathized with the Palestinians because of the stealing of the land they were on in the 1940s. After a while, though, it began to seem that there was a bi-annual cycle in which rockets or suicide bombs went off and then Israel flattened wherever the small arms came from. Neither party seems particularly interested in rational solutions and are driven by religious fervor. We shouldn’t be deeply involved in this conflict the way we are, as if we’re a regional power. We should go back to being a commercial republic that takes care of its own sphere of influence.

US and European people pay tax and their governments give it to Israel to kill women and innocent children. Hamas was selected with Palestine nation vote. Why Israel surrounds Gaza and don’t let wounded persons receive food and drug? Isn’t Israel a occupier?? Isn’t this an unfair war? Who has equipped Israel with F16 fighter plane?
I think Democracy and Human right is a big lie in West.
The UN is naive if they think they can go in and carve out a country and not expect blow back.
israel is evil
this guy is 100% on the mark !!!
i like Ron Paul…………he should have been our 44th. President
