Ron Paul explains HOW the democrats radicalized Muslims and created Hamas

"What's happening in the Middle East, in particular with Gaza right now, we have some moral responsibility for both sides in a way because we provide help and funding for both Arab nations and Israel. And so, we definitely have a moral responsibility, and especially now today, the weapons being used to kill so many Palestinians are American weapons and American funds especially is essentially are being used for this but there's a political liability which I think is something that we fail to look at because too often there's so much blowback from our intervention in areas that we shouldn't be involved in.

You know, Hamas, if you look at the history, you'll find out that Hamas was encouraged and really started by Israel because they wanted Hamas to counteract Yasser Arafat. And you say, well, yeah, that was better then and served its purpose, but we didn't want Hamas to do this.

So, then we as Americans say, well, we have such a good system, we're going to impose this on the world. We're going to invade Iraq and teach people how to be Democrats. We want free elections. So, we encourage the Palestinians to have a free election. They do and they elect Hamas. So, we first indirectly and directly through Israel help establish Hamas. Then we have an election. Then Hamas becomes dominant. So, we have to kill them.

You know, it just doesn't make sense. During the 80s, you know, we were allied with Osama bin Laden and we were contending with the Soviets. It was at that time our CAA thought it was good if we radicalized the Muslim world. So, we financed the Madrasa schools to radicalize the Muslims in order to compete with the Soviets. There's too much blowback. There's a lot of reasons why we should oppose this resolution. It is not in the interest of United States it's not in the interest of Israel either."
