According to Politico's report it went like this:

“I will say this: I’m 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.

Cruz was polite but firm in stating his principles and refusing to compromise on them when it would be expedient to do so. We've just become so used to seeing windsock politicians who have to consult their latest polls and focus-groups before speaking that it comes as a shock when we encounter someone who actually believes what he says and says what he believes.

Cruz is very much like Harry Truman in that regard. You might not have agreed with him on everything, but there was never a question of what he really believed and stood for. A breath of fresh air.
