Rudy Giuliani: Friend of Israel?
Until recently, I like many others, was convinced that Rudy Giuliani was the best choice for Israel. And if you would have asked me why, I would answer in sentences that combined words like “9/11 hero,” “friend of Israel,” “he denied money from a Saudi prince,” etc.
I then discovered that our politicians give three times the amount of money to Israel’s enemies then to Israel. Three times! How absurd!
I then searched online confident that I would find numerous statements from Rudy condemning this dangerous policy. But nothing.
What I did find shocked me… among the client list for Giuliani Partners (Rudy’s security company that he still holds a financial stake in) was none other than the oil-rich terrorist State of Qatar. That’s right, Guiliani, was doing business with Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifah al-Thani, the emir of the royal family that praised Hezbollah’s “victory” over Israel and at one point harbored the man who would later be identified as the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks—a man named Khalid Sheikh Muhammad. Mind boggling I know, and Rudy doesn’t deny the ties. Watch the video below (especially the 1:35 mark)…
I then stumbled upon Ron Paul. His views on Israel were eye-opening, to say the least. He has consistently stated that our foreign aid to Israel’s enemies must stop.
After checking this out I all of a sudden saw the difference between someone like Giuliani saying and believing things about Israel, and someone like Ron Paul who would actually make proactive policy decisions that would directly benefit Israel and stop its enemies from growing stronger.
Giuliani can continue proclaiming his great love for Israel and the Jewish people, but until he pledges to stop funding its enemies, how can you take him seriously?
I think the choice is clear, so I’ve changed my vote to Ron Paul.
Please join us as we ask Rudy, the self-proclaimed friend of Israel, to pledge that if he be elected president, he will immediately end all US aid to Israel’s surrounding Arab countries and stop the militarization of those nations by our government. On second thought, we ask every candidate running to make that pledge.
It’s time Rudy and the others put their money where their mouths are—Ron Paul already has.

Nice! Good investigative work! I watched this interview on Meet the Press and I almost came out of my chair with Rudy’s blatant question dodging. You can tell he is not going to risk losing work for his security company for the sake of Israel.
I am glad Ron Paul is free of any ties that corrupt his dedicated service to this country. He has the clear-headed knowledge to honestly put forth a real, American, pro-Israel Foreign Policy.
