  • " Whats there doing to the Palestinians is the concentration camps" Exactly!

  • When people say death to Israel we do not mean death to the people we mean that country was stolen from Palestine and must go! FREE PALESTINE

  • The Israel Prime Minister has said numerous times over the years that the United States gov't DOES NOT need to help Israel. He (I will not attempt to spell his name) has even addressed congress and said so. The fact is our gov't doesn't give a damn about helping Israel. They just want to keep their hand in the cookie jar, better known as the Middle East.

    NON-Interventionism is the way to go!

  • Ron Paul 2012!

  • This man is not just very smart. He has common sense in a government run by crazy people.

  • we are a christian nation -we will support israel.i like ron paul except when it comes to this.....yeah we support Israel,the only democracy in the middle east.

  • @lilbeaveymac How the fuck is Israel democratic? You're fucked.

  • Comment removed

  • @lilbeaveymac Alright so you have two errors in this statement: 1. While the United States is a predominantly Christian country, It has no national religion. And even if it was, we wouldn't have the reason to support Israel based on religion because Israel's religion is Judaism. and 2. Israel is not a democracy, it is theocracy supported by its military.

  • @lilbeaveymac Every democratic nation in the middle east gets squashed by U.S. military coups, the only reason Israel is still alive is because our country is run by Jewish bankers and Israel is a police state.

  • The word humanitarian is overrated. US is already committing a crime against humanity by siding with Israel. Not to mention the sanctions and wars that has been committed against the countries in the Middle East. If US is sincere about their humanitarian acts, then aid the suffering people from both sides and not to be biased just because Israel is your "ally". Fucking zionist Israel

  • 33 people have bias towards Israel that blinds them of true tyranny

  • if countries could be counted as terrorist by crimes israel wud be #1

  • What the heck was the host saying from 4:02 - 4:08???

  • Let's cut Israel off, and see what happens

  • Israel has always been selfish

    Israel follows a policy of evil

    It is time to act

  • I suggest these two books: one written by undersecretary George Ball titled

    "The Passionate Attachment" and another by John Mearshemier titled "The Israel Lobby." There is an extraordinary amount of history withheld from the American citizen. Our opinions should be sharpened by history and a deeper understanding of the issues. Often we are misled by TV host's opinion who are equally ignorant of the facts and history. OUR democracy depends on us becoming smarter voters and better informed.

  • Palestine is in our hearts!!!!! death to the zionist state

  • @zatorith

    amin brother

  • 3 words... NOT OUR FIGHT.

  • @AllKnowingCreator well put! one party with 2 separate wings. exactly. they've got us right where they want us,...too busy fighting amoung ourselves to see the real enemy. "...marching toward Bethlehem to be born,..." are you familiar with that line of verse?

  • @AllKnowingCreator it's part of a Bible verse. i'll paraphrase, "cast not your pearls before swine for they will trample them underfoot,..." your throwing all your knowledge at someone who doesn't understand or appreciate what you're saying.

  • @AllKnowingCreator Uncle, why do you cast your pearls before swine?

  • @xWren2 So if i don't support war, I shouldn't have to pay taxes right?

  • @gk3og exactly lol I wish it was that easy. I wish we could just impeach all of congress and the Pres. and start over with Ron as our Pres. lol

  • If this guy is actually genuine he should be president because this type of person is exactly what we need. We need to be concerned with ourselves not the rest of the world sticking our nose in the rest of the worlds business is a big reason for alot of our problems.

  • and if in the ship are wepons to attack Israel? that's ok.

  • Thank you Mr. Paul, for just being a decent honest human being.

  • @reeceeooo Its Dr. Paul

  • @AllKnowingCreator fuck russians.

  • Sending the flotilla to challenge Israel is the act of war you moron...

    I can't stand the Nazi Ron Paul.

  • @noimplant4me  You can't stand him because he beleives in reaching a hand of friendship.

  • @noimplant4me ..shut up! You and your kind are the shit-stain on Humanity

  • @noimplant4me

    you are the nazis today, israel

  • What the hell is he supporting terrorist?

  • It's this type of intervention that gives us a bad rep. amongst extremists in the region.

  • @AllKnowingCreator. Settle down. I will try to stop being right all the time and be more like you

  • @AllKnowingCreator ADD? ADHD? Are you responding to voices in your head? You surely are not writing about anything I have posted. Med up.

  • @AllKnowingCreator. You are confusing incomprehensible prose and muddled thinking with math. You are all over the place but never on point

  • What a moron! He expects Israel to help out Hamas because it was democratically elected? Even though its charter calls for the destruction of Israel? This is the first time I have ever heard this clip but now I'm convinced that this guy is loony tunes.

  • @1kkyu

    ihr seid wirklich die allerleztten

    scheissjuden

  • @spirta1000 英語で返事出来ないでしょう。あるいは、英語で返事するのが怖い­だろう。どっちにしてもお前はどうしようもない奴という気がしま­す。お前のような馬鹿な奴に何かを説明しても無駄だ。

  • @AllKnowingCreator. Try again and put it in English this time

  • This is why he will never be the president of the USA..

  • @AllKnowingCreator.  You are becoming more and more incomprehensible. You are effectively communicating that you are fearful, hateful, frustrated, and dumb as all get out, but I can pick up nothing beyond that

  • @AllKnowingCreator This from an admitted liar.

  • Carcetti? 4.46

  • kinda sounds like what the dirty priests did to Jerusalem back in them ol' crusading days.

  • @AllKnowingCreator. Thanks for admitting you are a liar. We can all ignore you from now on

  • @AllKnowingCreator . Odds are you are just lying. You did not know it was the Soviets not the Americans who liberated Auschwitz and so claimed your grandfather was in on it. When caught in that lie, you make up a more ridiculous one that your grandfather was in the Red army and then "escaped" from Berlin (was he also German) to the Americans. Sad

  • @AllKnowingCreator. You did not answer the question. R U saying your grandfather was in the Soviet army in 1945? If not, then you are a liar

  • @AllKnowingCreator. Your grandfather freed Auschwitz? R U Russian?

  • @AllKnowingCreator. Actually, it is the Zionists and their dupes who share a worldview with nazis. The supremacy of one group over another. The very foundation of both philosophies. This allows the Zionists to commit one crime after another against those they view as belonging to a lesser race. How much more like Nazis could they be?

    Perhaps you should be forgiven as you are clearly a very dumb person

  • @Uncle99B so you say you're a dupe? uh, i mean a dope?

  • @AllKnowingCreator. Actually, I detest the Nazis. And their philosophical cousins, the Zionists. As far as Holocaust denial. Do I think the hyping of the jewish victimhood is way over the top? Of course. Do I think that the Holocaust is the worst event in human history? I think it is absurd to make such a claim in the light of what happened to Africans and Native Peoples for centuries? As far as the mass gassings story, I would like to see one picture, one second of film as evidence

  • @AllKnowingCreator. No idea what you are talking about. You must get that a lot

  • @Uncle99B silly! didn't your mama ever take you to Sunday School in between the cross burning ceremonies? kids learn this,..."THE B.I.B.L.E. YES THAT'S THE BOOK FOR ME. I STAND ALONE ON THE WORD OF GOD, THE B.I.B.LE. BIBLE!!!"

  • @AllKnowingCreator. To get any sense into? Do you have any clue, any hint at all, about just how stupid you are? That you can't even construct a simple English sentence? You really should not be allowed an opinion

  • @Uncle99B sentances do not have a nationality. you should have written,...a sentence in English. that's a good boy.

  • @gitel13. I guess it is imbiciles (sic) who write sentances (sic).

    This hype about the intelligence of jewish people is shown to be false over and over again .

  • @AllKnowingCreator. It seems you are conceding defeat. You should

  • @Uncle99B I am not arguing on your position of Israel, because your view is acceptable to me whether I agree with it or not. But I do take issue with your view on the creation of Zionism as you have it backwards. The movement, largely started by Theodor Herzl @ 1895 was based on the realization that Europe was never going to allow Jews to assimilate into their society, and proven during the Holocaust to the extreme. It was Europeans seeing Jews as a race with their laws.

  • @MrDirtyboy10 Herzl created nation of people where there was none. They are an invented people. The Jews never fully assimilate into whatever nation they are. Irish, Italian, Englis, Polish, German, whatever have all just become white Americans in the USA. (non whites are not allowed to fully assimilate). White Jews (most, surely not all) remain deeply ethnocentric. They face pressure to marry other Jews. Don't put this in the non Jews

  • @Uncle99B Unfortunately, inter-marrying didn't help to well either. For the Nazi's you just needed to be 1/4 Jewish to be considered Jewish. So assimilating, under your definition, didn't do them much good. 

  • @MrDirtyboy10 . The Zionists and Nazis use the same racial classification system. If your maternal grandmother is Jewish and your other 3 grandparents are not, you have the "right to return" to live in Israel, even though your famil never lived there. Meanwhile, if you are an arab whose family lived in Palestine for centuries, you are out of luck.

  • @MrDirtyboy10 so if these skin heads really want to do away with the jews they'll have us assimilate ourselves into oblivian.

  • @gitel13 Assimilation = oblivion. Now there is a truly Jewish mindset

  • @Uncle99B and coming from you, i take this in the nicest waaaaay.

  • @Uncle99B oh come on,...Italian families want their kids to marry other Italians and so it is in most culturel/ethnic groups. you also say that Herzl created (a) nation of people where there was none. that doesn't make sense or i would comment on it. and as for your ridiculous notion that Jews don't assimilate,...? you sure do know alot about nothing.

  • @gitel13 . Methinks you doth protest too loudly. There is no group in America in which so many members have loyalty to a foreign nation. That is more than clear and everyone knows it

  • @Uncle99B MEXICO?!!!! IMBICILE.

  • @gitel13 What's an imbicile? Mexico? Huh? Everybody knows who the disloyal group in the USA. That same group that puts those tiny, mysterious little symbols on our food products and makes money off us by doing so

  • @Uncle99B wrong AGAIN. jews assimilate where ever they go. in china and japan they were so assimilated that that almost disappeared. with only a tiny faction holding onto any jewishness. but if you see them they look like the people of their host country. in poland where their king invited jews to settles they assimilated and advanced until the political tide turned. can't assimilate when sequestured in a ghetto. kinda' puts a krimp in the process.

  • @gitel13 Yeah. Lots of Jews in America sequestured 9sic) in poor ghettos. Only in your sick minds

  • @Uncle99B did i say America? did I say America? DID I SAY AMERICA?!!!!

  • @AllKnowingCreator. Jews as a "race' are an invented people. In the late 1800s, there were Frence catholics, French Jews, English protestants, English Jews, etc. The Zionists created a fake "race" Jews -- a philosophy they shared with the Nazis. The Jews are being used by the Zionists

  • as an american we need to stay out of foreing affairs, it causes nothing but problems for our country. Rather then funding wars and sticking our nose in shit that smells good (lol). We should fix the problems that our people continuly complain about. We have talked the same bs for years rather then doing something about it.

  • @StayClutch1 then while we're at it,...let's get rid of NAFTA and their plans for joining us with MEXICO and CANADA. do you realize that the majority of what we buy comes from privious third world countries which is what we will become if this continues. CAP AND TRADE must go! we need borders and we need to bring our young men and women in the military HOME to protect our own borders! we have seniors here that exist on a fixed income that can't afford food and rent and medicine.

  • @AllKnowingCreator. Actually, the original Zionists were aetheists. It appears that you don't know anything

  • @AllKnowingCreator. If it is anti-semitic to not support the racist, hate-filled rignt wing regime that rules Israel and the US power structure, then sign me up. If it is anti-semitic to wish to treat all human life as valuable and to not favor one racist group over all others, then I am on board. As should all sane people be (apparently not you). The Zionists are hell bent on domination and are going to get a whole helluva lot more people killed.

  • American Jews, who traditionally have been among the most progressive voices in US politics, need to run away from their knee jerk support of this horrendous state called Israel. They need to wipe away a lifetime of pro Isreal conditioning and see the truth. It is quite obvious to anyone who looks

  • @Uncle99B i am JEWISH and i may be wrong but this is what i think,...ISRAEL must be weaned from the AMERICAN nipple. ISRAEL needs to stop giving land for peace. they give and get nothing back. nothing but blood and betrayals. AMERICA must stop giving ten times what they give to ISRAEL to ISRAEL'S enemies. in this country,...we need to develope alternative forms of fuel. develope our own resources and stop bowing and kissing SAUDI ass. by the way, UNCLE,...i didn't vote for OBAMA

  • this guy has balls..

  • 28 Jews watched this video

  • @fuckvegan make that 29.

  • @gitel13 ..make that 33

  • how did Ron Paul Miss the elections.. doesnt it say a lot about the "Voters" how DUMB they are

  • Free Palestine, boycott Israel.

  • as long as ron paul gets rid of the US aid to UNWRA then i see no problem with this

  • lol 3:36 ... i heard "they were fugs!"

    oh ron ron ron... <3

  • @13december1990 well they may be Fugs too!

  • REGISTER REPUBLICAN PRONTO!

    Some states won't allow you to vote in the primaries unless you register several months in advance. RP needs to get through the primaries to get into the white house. I am Swedish, but it still does concern me because America's bankruptcy would spell doom for the global economy.

    RP is an honest man armed with something no politician has had for the past 20 years in the US - integrity, and intelligence.

    Vote Ron Paul 2012! For real change!

  • when ron paul defends womens rights i might maybe na he will never understand my girls deserve thier rights he is a nambe pambe dicksucker

  • @rebootedone English?

  • @rebootedone Judging by your grammar, I can see why you wouldn't vote for him. You obviously have little education and cannot support yourself or your girls without government aid. He never claimed he hated women or that women deserve less rights than men. You could just vote for one of the other corporate puppets. I'm sure you believe corporations are people too, or that we can print our way out of financial disaster. Or that we can just invade Iran. Or that we should flip flop on issues daily.

  • @Rumblingsauce ROFL not smart dude i have two degrees bach in elec tech aas in design and you have what, your penus in your hand while ron paul preaches about pro choice like a man has any right to tell a women what to do with thier body. grow some hair on your tinkle berrys child! i could always tutor you in the finer points of debate or maybe hah never mind oh forgot you got no mind roflmao

  • @rebootedone Sure. You can barely create a sentence and you can't even spell "penis". You are a perfect example of what Ron Paul was saying about how broken the education system is. Also, Pro Choice is the woman's choice, not the "man's". Pro choice is the woman choosing whether she wants to keep the child or abort it. So, that further exemplifies your ignorance to the topic. You have anything else, or you want to throw more insults like a 10 year old? I really hope you aren't 54 years old.

  • @Rumblingsauce this is what concerns me,...we know that Dr. Paul is NOT going to get the GOP nomination - that's a given. (even though if he did he would probably get elected) my concern is that with we don't split our voting base allowing Obama to be reelected. what say you?

  • @gitel13 We know that? If Romney won all 3 states, I might be inclined to agree with you. However, Santorum won Iowa, Romney won New Hampshire and Gingrich destroyed South Carolina. This race is all about the delegates now, something Ron Paul has known since the race began. This isn't popular vote. Also, Obama is hurting as well and frankly, I see no difference between Obama, Romney, Santorum or Gingrich. Santorum or Gingrich arent even on all the states ballots, so they really cant win

  • @Rumblingsauce so sad that my kids will never know the America that i grew up in. breaks my heart. the greatest country that has ever existed and little by little it is being destroyed from within. was it Jesus who said it's the little foxes who eat the grapes? ,...

  • @gitel13 I don't know. I am a non believer in religion. I just know our rights are taken away daily and our debt is becoming more than we will ever be able to fix. The only GOP standing up for my rights and my children's rights is Ron Paul, and for all his years of service to the people he is supposed to represent, I feel it is the least I can do to vote for him. He hasn't accomplished much, but his fight was an uphill battle and it was done for us. I see no other GOP choice to pick.

  • @Rumblingsauce Dont fall for this guys crap. Hes just tryna act like a scholar and talking about things in which he has no knowledge on. Support Ron Paul as you are, what he says is the truth and he is the best thing that has happened to America and is the only one standing up for American Liberty, rights and freedoms.

  • @No1AFGKING I'm 28 and this is my first time I'm voting for president. I missed 2008 elections because I never heard of Ron Paul (now I see why) and thought everyone was the same. The internet has awakened my belief that maybe, somewhere out there, someone representing "the people" may actually be trying to represent me. My vote will go to Ron Paul whether he's on the ballot or not.

  • To ALL North Americans, both Canadians and Americans. Become more aware! Remember our founding fathers. Remember what we fought for. Either in words or action. Our governments are no longer representing the PEOPLE. "Taxation WITHOUT Representation" is WRONG.

  • AMERICA, GET REAL! This is what we NEED! , REAL Change! TANGIBLE Monetary Value! A Foreign Policy in OUR own Favor, Wake up to Reality, Presidency 4-8 years, WE NEED, Changes, Debt Cutting, Less Class Warfare, Less World Policing, these things he can put into motion to REAL CHANGE...RON PAUL 2012!

  • I agree with Paul over non-interventionism.

  • Concentration camps? Hahahaha. Look, I support lots of his views, but it seems like his view on Israel is one of brainwashed 7 year old.

  • @CommunityCam

    wait, so you support starving people for no reason?

  • @CommunityCam how is he a brainwashed 7 year old ? I seriously don't get why people in the US get so shocked whens omeone like Ron Paul says leave Isreal alone and let them handle their own shit, why the fuck are we always getting involved in their business ?

    People always forget, Isreal not only has a rather powerful army, air force, navy ....... they also have 300 NUKES

    Believe me, if anyone has the balls to touch them, they will get fucked up

    we need to stop getting involved everywhere

  • @iBouncer7 No I agree that we should leave Israel alone, but I don't like how he said that they have concentration camps. This is bullshit.

  • @CommunityCam the palestinian people do basically live in a "concentration camp" just because u don't understand his theory doesn't mean his wrong bro,  the entire place they live is surrounded and watched , its basically a concentration camp

  • @CommunityCam It is a concentration camp. With israeli settlements spread throughout. Families sit there eating their dinner, along comes a bulldozer or 2, backed up by idf soldiers. Through a loud-hailer, these people are told to move immediately as a new israeli neighbourhood is being built here. The new roads are for israelis only. To get to the shop might entail 4 checkpoints. Please, check some vids from a Palestinian perspective if you can find the time.Heaps on the Tube. Peace bro

  • @jasonthedragon73 wait a minute! are you forgetting LAND FOR PEACE? the peace that never comes? i've lost count of just how many JEWISH TOWNS HAVE BEEN BULLDOZED and the JEWISH ISRAELIS uprooted and left to find their own way while the ISRAELI GOVERNMENT UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE UNITED STATES protect the ARABS WHILE THEY MOVE IN AND don't build homes or schools but they build ANOTHER ARMED WAR ZONE WHERE THEY CAME SEND MORE deadly missiles into civilian populations in the heart of ISRAEL

  • @gitel13 Jewish towns bulldozed? Deadly missiles into civilian populations in Israel? Wow. You are truly mad

  • @jasonthedragon73 THE arabs tunneled through to egypt where they were spending that good u.s. aid to buy weapons from muslim brotherhood in egypt and smuggling them through that tunnel and back to "palestine". when the egyptian government discovered this they bombed the tunnels. that government was afraid of the Brotherhood .overthrowing the egyptian government and taking over. with obama's support that is exactly what has happened. I DON 'T BELIEVE THAT RON PAUL WON'T HELP THE ARABS.

  • t's not enough to say "Vote Ron Paul"

    PEOPLE NEED TO SWITCH PARTIES 12 WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF THE PRIMARIES IN MOST STATES.

    IF YOU DO NOT SWITCH IN TIME YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.

    IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED REPUBLICAN YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.

    IF RON PAUL DOES NOT WIN PRIMARY, NO GENERAL ELECTION ! REGISTER AS A REPUBLICAN. FIND OUT WHEN YOUR STATE HAS PRIMARIES. FIND OUT WHERE AND VOTE VOTE VOTE ! PLEASE !

    WE NEED EVERY LAST VOTE ! Copy and paste this everywhere

  • I love this guy..

  • its none of our business

  • @The420Community

    Just another lawyer/politician running for president.

  • @DrSquiresMD

    even if you dont agree w/ his economics/etc, dont worry about that. Its not going to happen because its not going to pass through congress. The main thing I see in him is his foreign policy. He can stop our undeclared wars.

  • @DrSquiresMD What bothers me about Ron Paul is his very pro Palestinian stance and the language he uses to describe their situation. I think that he feels that by pulling all support from one country he will be encouraging all 22 Muslim nations to join forces against Israel for her inevitable destruction.

  • TheNYLibertarian fuck off dick head this countrys going to hell weather you like it or not,, so just sit back and get your popcorn ready

  • "Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a ‘Jew’ or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew."

    (1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3).

  • u crakers can keep voting you damn fo0ls u dont elect no one, the nwo selects ppl god will destroy evil country we will pay you bak for slavery, japan will pay you back,mexico will pay you back, the natives will pay you back, u crackers dont see whats about to come to you, the chinese hate you, spanish hate you iran hates you your lies will go on kno more hahahah i love it blacks are the real jews

  • Comment removed

  • @getemdrunkii First off, you can't even write organized sentences. Second, you believe in fictional organizations like the "NWO" and third, you claim that black people are Jewish.... Your point was invalid from the beginning.

  • omg... hes thinking the same as i do... we have to mind our own bussiness

  • @PureCents It's funny isn't it? The more you hear what Ron Paul has to say the more you think "Hey...... That makes a lot of sense." :)

  • @Vladimus44 ha ha ha ask your sister if he makes sense moron he's a looney tunes

  • He will never make it to president by saying that the support to Israel should be canceled... There are very powerful forces in the US that wont let that happen. Too bad. I really feel that Ron was one of few who have a chance saving the US,

    Regards from Sweden

  • we should bring the troops home to re-establish democracy here.

  • fuck ya, israel ftw. i dont agree with everything they do, but i sure as in fuck dont agree with a bunch of lying ass Palestinians to get what they want...back in the day there was no such thing as palestine. NEVER WAS...britain made palestine. lmao tryi8ng to say the holocaust wasnt real ahahaha why would i support a nation that believes the holocausts was fabricated? who straps bombs to their own people? palestine........

  • @free00to00ryhme

    fuck you jude!!

  • @spirta1000 tisk tisk tisk. this i why america and the world is falling apart, your all divided by ethnicity and social class. what difference does it make if i were jew, black, arab, mexican or caucasian?........skin color? heritage? please answer me that question WHATS THE DIFFERENCE. the way i see it, we are all intellectual human beings who need to stop hating each other and learn how to be sovereign. but, with people like you, its makes peace almost impossible.

  • @free00to00ryhme so true. thank you for those calming words in this sea of rage and profanity.

  • @gitel13 what did i say? i forgot.

  • @free00to00ryhme oh, just a very different and encouraging message. you basically said that we need to unify as Americans. at least that's what i got out of it.

  • @spirta1000 me too baby cause I AM A JEW! yup, me and JESUS.

  • @free00to00ryhme

    fuck you and fuck Israel!!

    thats why all people hates Israel!!

  • @spirta1000 you don't speak for all people. i don't hate Israel.

  • @spirta1000 actually, the hate for israel originated from the fact they own land that muslims consider holy. and they dont like the fact that jews have something they THINK belongs to them. Judaism was here long before islam bud. in fact it was the first religion to institute the idea of a one supreme god.

  • @free00to00ryhme Muslims consider any land that they may have passed through 1400 years ago as forever belonging to islam and their moon god. they have destoyed joseph'sn tomb and built a little mosque on that holy JEWISH SITE. everywhere they go they destroy in the name of their moon god. then they build a monument to their moon god over that site. like the dome of the rock orrrrrr,...like GROUND ZERO.

  • @gitel13 Hmmmm May you care to enlighten me as to who this moon god of yours is? Id really like to know as i as a Muslim have never heard of this deity before. Also care to back up your points with sources? I think it would be highly illogical for a practising Muslim to demolish a site where one of their holy and beloved prophets lay. And your point on dome of the rock is just too stupid to answer. As for ground zero your close to creating one of them right in your own backyard.

  • @No1AFGKING was that a threat? 

  • @free00to00ryhme

    you are an arrogant pig you are occupiers of Palestine

    We dont want to hate, we just want our country

    woul you plz piss off

  • @free00to00ryhme Palestine doesn't exist... never did.

  • @lemca888 omg, did i just witness an educated comment :O
