You know what's racist?

[Dutch Merganser]

Israel is quite legitimate. It was approved as a country by the UN and is allowed to exist. The fact that it was repeatedly attacked by third parys does not change that.

I always thought that Britain was very savvy in dumping the colonial burden of Palestine before it became the problem it is today. The U.N. never had any authority to do what it did other than that which came from the guns of the western colonial powers. It certainly never was selected by the residents of Palestine as their representative.

I recall seeing an interview with Dean Rusk who was present at the U.N. during the colonialist handover of Palestine to a group of European opportunists. In the interview he made that point that the U.N. was crawling with lawyers representing the colonials but there was no such representation of the current natives of the region being appropriated. Funny how that worked.

Israel will go the way of Rhodesia, South Africa, Vietnam, and many others, whether it be the hard way or the not so hard way. In 2009 the US CIA projected this to take place in the next 20 years barring material changes in the policy of Israel towards the locals who have been ground under its heel for over sixty years.

Foreign Office,
 November 2nd, 1917.
 
Dear Lord Rothschild,
 I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet:
 "His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country".
 I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
 
Yours sincerely
 Arthur James Balfour

im from austria, i don't know much about ron paul but payed attention to him the last 2 years or so cause i heard alot...

some thoughts:

1. i doubt he has any chance of winning
2. he is -kind- of republican which -kind- of speaks for itself
3. he is "libertarian" - a term which is very disputed - i call myself also libertarian most of the time, cause im kind of a libertarian socialist (anarchist/anarchosyndicalist/antifascist/progressive communist), but the "libertarian" ron paul uses is rather right wing than anarchist.
4. weapons for everybody, criminalize abortion and beeing a conservative patriotic protectionist .. well, kind of outdated, isn't it?
5. i apreciate his antiimperalism, thought i think its rather more populism than serious
6. and finally: obamas comming 4 years will certainly come with more change than the last 4 years did

summa summarum: i would reelect obama. maybe with some urge to  but ron paul would also give me some
