For Bush to redeem himself he must admit he made some flawed decisions and make things right. He must open dialogue with the middle east, and lead Israel and the Arab community to peace talks.

America, Israel, and the Arab communities must move above ideology, anger (which comes from fear), and mistrust to interacting as brothers and sisters. Strength through Peace

Robert, 77% of American Jews are against the war in Iraq. I should not have to say this, but we are not war mongers. It’s just that when someone says that he wants to wipe Israel off the map, we beleive him. No, it was not misinterpreted by some conspiracy of war mongers. It’s an accurate translation.

I greatly respect Dennis Kucinich’s domestic agenda, but on foreign policy he is one step away from being Neville Chamberlain. He would have said the same thing about Hilter in 1938.

(continued) Finally, while Rep. Paul would cut off aid to Israel, his tax cuts would mean every Jewish and pro-Zionist tax payer in America would have several thousand dollars more each year in their pockets and if each one of them donated $300-600 of those tax savings each year to the State of Israel it would make up for the $3-6 billion in loalns and grants Israel formerly received. And lets remember that Paul would also cut off the $5billion we give to the Egyptian and Saudi racists each year, which would be a blessing. His proposal to turn gifts to charities into tax credits would mean many Jewish charities would suddenly be awash with funds. And his penny-pinching attitude towards Israel would probably generate a blow-back of sympathy for our loyal ally. The true enemies of American Jewry are the enemies of the Bill of Rights, monetary inflation and collectivist interference in free markets, and Rep. Paul is an enemy of all of these. Is he an anti-Semite? Quien sabe? but I doubt it.

PaulGrad-

Hyperinflation in post WWI Germany was a result of a worldwide great depression, which had a particularly negative effect on Germany due to its dependency on American loans, which the US collected on. Then came the treaty of Versailles and its crippling economic effects and BAM, hyperinflation.

Let us not forget that it wasn’t the FDP (Germany’s Libertarian Party) that brought about Germany’s revival economically. Having spent a week at the FPD’s think tank in Gummersbach, it became pretty evident that this truly is the economic theory of the “Besserverdienenden” (better earning people) as one FDP member put it in the middle 90s.

(continued)One would be tempted to suspect Rep. Paul of an anti-Jewish bias in his unfair anti-Zionism, but I am not sure . Let’s remember that Paul is a passionate advocate of the “Austrian” school of economics as represented by its three leading theoreticians: Ludwig von Mises, F A Hayek and Murray Rothbard, all of whom were Jewish. Would a rabid Jew-hater promote the economic philosophy of three Jews, and would he be praised by someone like Milton Friedman, who pointed out the close historical link between free-market capitalism and liberal attitudes towards Jews (as when the Dutch and British mercantilists treated Jews infinitely better than the rest of Europe)? Yet Rep. Paul’s petty response to a racist trash-bag like Ahmadinejad is deeply disappointing.

(continued) After the erosion of our civil liberties and next greatest threat to American Jewry is inflation and the ensuing economic chaos it would cause. Rep. Paul’s election would immediately bring a strengthening of the dollar and a drop in inflation, and as Norman Mailer has pointed out, it was massive inflation in Germany that was largely responsible for bringing Hitler to power. I must admit though that Rep. Paul’s short-sightedness on Israel is deeply disturbing to me, for it seems to violate one of the basic tenets of libertarianism which is to not initiate aggression against ones neighbor or his rights, but to defnd yourself if he violate your rights. This is exactly what Israel does as the Arab racists continue to try to destroy Israel and murder Jewish human beings. I believe we should engage Rep. Paul in vigorous debate on this issue and point out the inconsistency of his libertarianism on this matter.

As a supporter of Rep. Paul for president because he fulfills the requirements of a libertarian, and also as a strong supporter of Israel and its right to exist, I have debated in my mind the consequences of a Paul victory for Israel and for the position of Jews in America. I have these observations.
The greatest threat to American Jewry is the erosion of our civil liberties under the constitution. If these unconstitutional measures, like the Patriot Act, stay on the books it is only a matter of time before a Jew-hater gets into the white house and uses these measures against American Jewry. Rep. Paul would repeal these unconstitutional measures, and defend the bill of rights. And this would definitely help secure the place of Jews in American society.
