War has broken out between Hamas and Israel. What should the United States do about it? As usual, our greatest living American, Dr. Ron Paul, has the answer. We should do nothing. America should stay out of this troubled region altogether. Dr. Paul has been a source of wisdom on this topic for years.

In an article published in 2016, Dr. Paul argued that we shouldn’t send billions of dollars in military aid to Israel.

“Last week’s announcement of a record-breaking US aid package for Israel underscores how dangerously foolish and out-of-touch is our interventionist foreign policy. Over the next ten years, the US taxpayer will be forced to give Israel some $38 billion dollars in military aid. It is money we cannot afford going to a country that needs no assistance to maintain its status as the most powerful military in the Middle East.
