Things don’t seem to be getting any easier for Congressman Ron Paul these days, as he continues his uphill climb to win the 2012 Republican nomination for President.

Following accusations that newsletters written under his name were overtly racist, Paul’s views on Israel have been receiving a considerable amount of attention recently due to statements he’s made in the past that have risen some eyebrows.

Below are two videos of Congressman Paul discussing his views on Israel’s involvement in Gaza.  The first video comes from a 2009 interview with Iranian television Press TV.  The second comes from within the Congressman’s own office.  Watch and decide for yourself on whether or not you agree with his opinions.
