To me, this article flushes out the Shill called Ron Paul (I'll make BOLD those parts that tell me this):

Congressman Ron Paul issued a blistering critique of President Obama's recent proposal for Israel to surrender its territory to pre-1967 borders and create a Palestinian state.

“Unlike this President, I do not believe it is our place to dictate how Israel runs her affairs," the Texas Republican wrote in a May 20 press statement. "There can only be peace in the region if those sides work out their differences among one another. We should respect Israel’s sovereignty and not try to dictate her policy from Washington." Representative Paul has announced an electoral challenge to Obama as a Republican, and will face Obama in November 2012 if he can win the GOP nomination.

Obama had proposed May 19 that "We believe the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states." The proposal rocked the relationship between the United States and Israel, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rebuffed Obama in person the next day from an Oval Office press conference, complaining that "while Israel is prepared to make generous compromises for peace, it cannot go back to the 1967 lines — because these lines are indefensible; because they don’t take into account certain changes that have taken place on the ground, demographic changes that have taken place over the last 44 years."

Obama also promised some $2 billion in additional direct foreign aid to Egypt in the May 19 address. Egypt was until the 1980s an enemy of the Jewish state. Obama pledged an additional $2 billion investment from the U.S. government's Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) to North Africa and the Middle East.

By way of contrast, Rep. Paul has proposed eliminating all foreign aid. “I am not the only one who can see the absurdities of our foreign policy. We give $3 billion to Israel and $12 billion to her enemies," Paul wrote. "Most Americans know that makes no sense.... We are facing $2 trillion dollar deficits, and the American taxpayer cannot afford any of it."

Representative Paul also noted that U.S. foreign aid has often worked at cross-purposes with freedom in the Islamic world. Paul pointed out that for 30 years U.S. aid propped up the corrupt Mubarak regime in Egypt, a regime overthrown by the peaceful "Jasmine revolution" this spring. “As the President prepares to send even more support to Egypt, we should be reminded that it was our foreign aid that helped Mubarak retain power to repress his people in the first place. Now we have to deal with the consequences of those decisions, yet we keep repeating the same mistakes."

Obama's May 19 speech also took special note of the Jasmine revolution sweeping the Islamic world, a revolution that began in December in Tunisia and has since touched just about every Islamic nation. Obama claimed that "the people of the Middle East and North Africa had taken their future into their own hands." Obama even acknowledged that the United States and its policies had nothing to do with the peaceful demonstrations: "It’s not America that put people into the streets of Tunis or Cairo -– it was the people themselves who launched these movements, and it’s the people themselves that must ultimately determine their outcome."

But despite traditional U.S. foreign aid support for dictatorships, Obama implicitly threatened further intervention in Islamic nations and devoted particularly harsh criticism to Syria. "Most recently, the Syrian regime has chosen the path of murder and the mass arrests of its citizens. The United States has condemned these actions, and working with the international community we have stepped up our sanctions on the Syrian regime –- including sanctions announced yesterday on President Assad and those around him." Syria has indeed launched a month-long bloody campaign against peaceful protesters, a campaign that appears to be getting bloodier.

Obama stressed that the United States stood for "universal human rights" and that "Our support for these principles is not a secondary interest. Today I want to make it clear that it is a top priority that must be translated into concrete actions, and supported by all of the diplomatic, economic and strategic tools at our disposal." To many observers, "strategic tools" is a code word for U.S. military action.

Representative Paul, by way of contrast, has opposed Obama's Libyan war and strongly condemned the implicit threat to attack Syria. “The President also defended his unconstitutional intervention in Libya, authorized not by the United States Congress but by the United Nations, and announced new plans to pressure Syria and force the leader of that country to step down," Paul wrote. “Our military is already dangerously extended, and this administration wants to expand our involvement. When will our bombing in Libya end? Is President Obama seriously considering military action against Syria?...We need to come to our senses, trade with our friends in the Middle East (both Arab and Israeli), clean up our own economic mess so we set a good example, and allow them to work out their own conflicts."

* My observation is that Ron Paul is LYING about how much money we give to Israel vs the Arab States. Ron Paul is LYING about Israel being our Friend (USS Liberty, 9/11, King David Hotel, Levon Affair etc..). Ron Paul is for some reason worried about Israel losing territory (1967 Borders) yet at the same time says we should stay out of their affairs. Ron Paul is a very good Shill who is no friend to Americans. Period. Ps. Ron Paul was the first ever politician I gave money to, so I have come 180 degrees on this LYING traitorous SHILL. Ron Paul is of the like a George Galloway, Chomsky, etc.. He is a VERY VERY smooth controlled opposition figure who comes riding out of no where to defend Israel from Obama's new backbone that now is demanding 1967 Borders as REQUIRED by International Law (yet Ron Paul is supposed to be all for Law and Moral Equality).

I'm not impressed by Ron Paul. His son, who ran for an office in Kentucky, I believe, and won, is pretty openly an Israel Firster.

With friends like Israel, who needs enemies?

Obama said Israel should go back to 1967 borders because the jews told him to say that. It's a game the jews are playing. They always want to look like the underdog victim.

EyesWideOpen, I understand you, I was there too. I was banned from the Mises Institute for speaking the J** word.

It's clear when you see that while focusing on banking and history of economics, they say not a single word about jewish influence and control, both historically and current.

Incredible smoking gun.

And talking about guns, another smoking gun, is William Pierce essay on Gun Laws on Germany, it's a killer for any "libertarian" if they discover how they were lied in such an emotional important matter to them, or the real situation, the Americans "freed" Europe, did they bring American values, like gun ownership, or did they restrict them even more? Then whose values were they bringing?
