It's no secret that I like Ron Paul, however he mentions israel being an "ally" what I fail to ever hear from anyone is what do they do for us that make them an "ally"? An ally doesn't murder or injure over 200 of our seaman, and ally doesn't run our women over with bulldozers (Rachel Corrie), an ally doesn't shoot an American citizen 4 times in the head while in International waters (Flotilla massacre), an ally doesn't shoot an American woman in the face with a tear gas grenade blowing her eye out etc.
If that is your definition of an ally, I'd hate to see an enemy.
