Comment on The Middle East Policy of Rep. Ron Paul by Robert Vincent

Robert Vincent — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 01:22:53 +0000

Ron Paul has been in Congress for some 35 years. His voting record ought to be examined to see how consistent he is about “ending foreign aid”, as the linchpin of his isolationist policies. I’ve heard that he voted for aid to the PA recently.

I strongly suspect that his declared “isolationism” is merely a rhetorical smokescreen that revolves around abandoning Israel in order to appease Islamists. His voting record over the decades may provide a clue to this.

Comment on We Are Running Out of Time on Iran by Ellen Heyman

Excellent. But, can we be more open about what needs to be done now? Can we advocate for the military option. Can Israel be allowed to do it with our help?

Can the pro-Israel community start talking “tachlis” and advocate for the military option? If not, why not?

After Iran completes its nuclear capabilities, we can say “I told you so”. I, for one, would rather prevent it by unabashedly advocating the military option. It has supposedly been on the table since 2004. How long will we wait? Until it is too late? I don’t want us to be in the position of not having been clear. What is Emet’s position on this? Why so circumspect about it?

Comment on Something Rotten in Washington by Rena Cohen

From the US perspective, it seems quite evident that this administration cannot (or will not) understand that the pressure toward political Islam growing in the Middle East bodes ill not only for Israel, but for the United States. It also apparently does not (or will not) understand that kicking traditional U.S. allies in the face in public (or behind closed doors) destroys the international credibility and clout of the U.S. One seriously wonders what the legacy of this administration will be — on the foreign policy front, the Middle East in toto appears to bear testimony to the failure of the Obama/Clinton team on the foreign policy front.

This woman certainly has guts.
She has risked a lot by speaking out and I admire her for that.
I would have liked to hear the exchange after she finished speaking.
Many muslims will not see the facts. There is just so little tolerance in muslim countries for anything that is contrary to the religion.

Dear Sarah,

Give a video to Sen. Merkley of Oregon. He’s been approached a few times by JStreet and since he’s a fairly new senator he needs Emet’s influence
