Even Ron Paul Criticizes Obama's Policy Toward Israel

Notwithstanding what some of our libertarian readers may say (or spam in the comments), Ron Paul has not been the biggest supporter of Israel over the last decade. However, he has stated that he supports Israel's right to exist and opposes President Obama's plan for peace in the Middle East.

Obama's call for 1967 borders did not please the Texas Congressman:

And Ron Paul said the Obama administration had again "proven that it does not understand a proper foreign policy for America."

“Israel is our close friend," Paul said in a statement. "While President Obama’s demand that Israel make hard concessions in her border conflicts may very well be in her long-term interest, only Israel can make that determination on her own, without pressure from the United States or coercion by the United Nations. Unlike this President, I do not believe it is our place to dictate how Israel runs her affairs. 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."

Of course, Ron Paul is coming from the wrong direction on this, but give him an A for effort.
