Cruz was right. Israel and the USA (Christians) share a common enemy.

In the ME, “Chrislam” hates Jews & Israel.

The Kurds were persecuted too, and that didn't make them hate Jews. These people have just been exposed to the propaganda for so long, and subconsciously they had to be anti-Israel to stop from extra persecution, but then it became what they believed.
The problem with political correctness is that no one wants to tell 'protected' peoples, your ways of hatred are wrong, Western values like tolerance are superior. I'm all in on Cruz now!

Cruz has got to be very careful on foreign policy. When he takes sides, it could come back to haunt him when situations cause situations to shift.
I have to ask, about Israel. Have they done anything to help save the Christians, Yazitis, and other minorities from ISIS?

Ted Cruz was right.
Christians and Republicans need to stand with Israel!
The response from some in the audience tells me that there were Muslims in the room.

I don’t hate them for living in a world saturated with antisemitism and becoming infected with it. That does not mean I should accept it.

Gee, how odd that every time someone of principle stands on it and ACTS on it, leftist ‘conservative’/GOP types fly out of the woodwork to condemn it.

According to Politico's report it went like this:
I will say this: Im saddened to see that some here, not everyone, are so consumed with hate, he said at the outset of the video, his comments prompting continued booing and yelling out from some members of the crowd. I will say this: If you will not stand with Israel and the Jews, then I will not stand with you. Thank you, and God bless you, he said, walking off stage to scattered applause and boos.
Sounds like the rudeness was all one way.

Cruz was right. Israel and the USA (Christians) share a common enemy.Tens of millions of Muslims refer to us as the "Little Satan and the Big Satan". It would seem that even the middle eastern "Christians" share that view??? Cruz could have been far more blunt..., he was "politically correct" in ending his presentation as he did!

Not much difference between that and some of the evangelicals that occupy this forum.I am sure the cow and his minions will show up in a few minutes to tell me how wrong I am.

Ted Cruz “stomped out of the room?” I very much doubt it.

It doesn’t sound like a real good time for “Christians” to choose to politically align themselves against the only people who might prevent their extermination. Christians dealing with Hezbollah is the eat me last theory. Perhaps they choose to be martyrs without a following to morn them.

You may have missed the news but Israel has been dodging thousands of rockets that are being sent daily and is fighting for their lives and freedom.

A lot of Middle East Christians have no use for Israel, and for a lot of different reasons. Their worldview is not ours.
Survival sharpens self interest in amazing ways.
Cruz should have known his audience better.

"Hater" is one of the left's favorite put-downs.
I guess its not rude when they use it.
