Dr. Paul is asking for the bare minimum here. He is not stating we condemn Israel. He is simply stating that we need to let them be. Israel, at the end of the day, is not our problem and I cannot see what benefit we can get by supporting some foreign land unconditionally under the pretense that it will bring freedom and democracy to the world.

That is something I can definitely get behind.

You people have no idea what would happen If the USA stopped being BIG Brother to Israel. Your talk is BIG, like you have the answers, but you know nothing about the bigger picture. Stop fooling yourselves.

Ok perhaps you would like to tell us what would happen.

Ok perhaps you would like to tell us what would happen. Who could realistically take them on? They have nukes and the most robust economy in the region. Tell us why you think it's in America's best interests to continue sending them billions. I can tell you very simply why it should stop, America is broke, needs the cash at home and there are cheaper ways to piss off the Arabs.

Arabs are bent on dying in battle and having their orgies in the "land of make believe" with promised virgins, so why would they care if Israel has nukes?

When Iran wants to start exporting knowledge, scientific advancements and other aid that can be used to improve humanity as a whole, then I will start caring about this argument. Until then, I don't care how disadvantaged Iran and the Palestinians are.

After that we could go ahead and remove some of those nuclear sites. I'm all for it, let's go.
