#Blowback: Hamas & Israel - Ron Paul 2009 on Floor of House of Representatives

2009 #RonPaul’s speech on the House floor comes back to haunt:
- But there is a political liability which I think is something that we fail to look at because too often there is so much blowback from our intervention in areas that we shouldn’t be involved in... #Hamas was encouraged and actually started by Israel because they wanted Hamas to counteract Yasir #Arafat... So we first, indirectly and directly through #Israel, helped establish Hamas. Then we have an election where Hamas becomes dominant, then we have to kill them. It just doesn’t make sense. During the 1980s, we were allied with #OsamaBinLaden and we were contending with the #Soviets. It was at that time our #CIA thought it was good if we #radicalized the #Muslim world. So we finance the Madrassa schools to radicalize the #Muslims in order to fight the Soviets. There is too much #Blowback.
