Paul supports a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but says he isn’t sure that will ever happen “because now, nobody trusts American leadership. Without proper American leadership, it’s not going to happen.”
In 2000, when Ehud Barak was Israel’s prime minister and Arafat was the Palestinians’ leader, Paul says he “had hopes” that peace was achievable. I ask Paul for his impressions of Arafat. He responds, “Why talk about a dead man? But [he was] a very unique person. That’s all I can say right now.”
Paul has also met several times with Mahmoud Abbas, the current Palestinian leader. Asked if he believes Abbas is committed to peace, Paul answers, “He really wanted to get the peace deal [with Israel] done. He’s caught in a
very unique spot between the West and the East. All the fanatics and extremists in the Muslim community hate him, and all the right-wing Western leaders say he doesn’t do enough. So it’s very hard.”
It’s mandatory for every Christian, Paul explains, “to pray for Israel every day, support Israel in every way, because a young man — a good-looking boy called Jesus — 2,000 years ago died for all humanity and shed his precious blood, and commanded all of us to pray for Israel.”
Given the stakes, Paul argues that it’s “a sin” for Christians to fail to vote in the 2016 election. Paul says he’s “asking God if He wants me to campaign in this country,” and unless “God shuts the doors,” the evangelist vows to continue to rally support for “anybody but Hillary.”
