Ron Paul: US and Israel Created Hamas...
Another speech filled with half truths, he makes a good point about blowback, but bends reality to make it.
If anything Ron Paul is making an argument for knowing our enemy without the lens of political correctness.
In part, the truth part of what he says is that we helped legitimize Hamas by encouraging the election when we should have known just how radicalized the Arab street is in that part of the world.
But ......his solution is to just let the bad guys do what they want and then maybe they will not try to harm us. And also to not encourage Israel to defend itself. Both are bad ideas that will encourage the enemy.
Showing weakness to Hamas is like showing weakness to the Romulans from Star Trek, you just don't do it.
