Arab Christians Boo Ted Cruz for Pro-Israel Remarks
CBN ^ | 11 Sep 14 | CBN

Posted on 09/11/2014 2:16:10 PM PDT by xzins

A group of Middle Eastern Christians booed Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, off the stage after speaking in support of Israel at an event in Washington, D.C.

The event, sponsored by the group In Defense of Christians, was billed as a gathering of Middle Eastern Christian leaders.

They were trying to raise awareness about the threat to Arab minorities by the Islamic terrorists.

Cruz spoke about Christian solidarity with Israel and standing against terrorist groups like ISIS.

But some in the crowd were Palestinian Christian supporters of the Syrian government and even the terrorist group Hezbollah.

"Those who hate Israel hate America," Cruz began before being interrupted by jeering from the audience.

"My heart weeps that the men and women here will not stand in solidarity with Jews and Christians alike who are persecuted by radicals," he responded.

At one point, the moderator interrupted, saying, "Please, respect for dialogue. Respect. Please, we're in America."

Undeterred, Cruz said "If you will not stand with Israel and the Jews, then I will not stand with you. Thank you and God bless you."

Why do you keep trolling for an argument eater-of-toast? We all know you are not a Christian. If you were a "Christian" you'd embrace the Nation Israel as Jesus Christ does and His body does.

Not that you will understand it but you should read in the book of Romans Chapter 9.

To the Jew first and also to the Greek/gentile go all God's blessings and curses.

God has not abandoned his people. His people have abandoned Him. If God has not abandoned His people who do you think you are to do so?

LOL.... We wouldn't have most of the secrets we do if it weren't for members of the family of Israel sharing their God given revelations with us. Anti-Semitics need to really step back and educate themselves before espousing to "know" anything.

What was it Rush said the other day?... LOL... Oh yeah. "Stupid people are stupid but you can't tell them they are stupid because they will argue with you."

What??? HA HA HA HA..... Are you serious? Where did you get that from what I have written? But that bs theory of yours being exposed let's examine your crackpot theory shall we?
Please... Tell me why Israel should NOT spy on the US when every other nation on the planet does. Are you really that naive? I notice you are not pointing out how ISIL has it's own Muslim BrotherHood residing in our White House. Why are you not pointing that out? Perhaps you are an obama shill disseminating Anti-Semitic disinformation in order to further the cause of expanding the new Islamic State?

Israel happens to be the closest ally to the United States in the WORLD but you have no problems with China stealing our technology or Iran building ICBM that can hit the US etc.
You have no problems with Israel sharing the best intelligence on the planet with us but you do have a problem with them asking for something in return?
Can we say HYPOCRITE!

Look... Don't talk to me. I'm liable to call you out for what I know you to be and I don't want to stoop to your level.

I’m a Christian who rejects the view that Christians are inferior to Jews in God’s eyes. Evidently you embrace that nasty view.

A Jew from a country other than Israel has to accept Israeli citizenship in order to have it. One doesn’t automatically acquire it by being born a Jew. At any rate, a Jewish American with dual citizenship who joins the US armed forces is serving America by his own decision, not the state of Israel’s. I credit him for his service, not the state of Israel. I’ll stop criticizing Israel when it stops being a Jewish supremacist state whose Christians citizens have inferior status and an Orthodox supremacist state where Reform and Conservative Judaism have inferior status to Orthodoxy (for example, the Israeli state only recognizes conversions to Judaism performed by Orthodox rabbis).

Disagree. I belong to the deterrence school. Deterrence worked with the USSR; it works between India and Pakistan; it’ll work with Iran if they go nuclear. They’re nasty, but they don’t want to get nuked in retaliation.

Deterrence isn’t a concern for a culture that encourages suicide bombers. And do you honestly think that Obama will nuke Iran if Iran nukes Israel?

I think he’d throw a party.

The nutcases and dead-enders who become kamikazes wouldn’t get control of Iran’s nukes. The ayatollahs would, and SOBs though they are, they don’t harbor a desire to turn their country into a massive suicide bomber. Obviously though we can’t let undeterrable non-state actors like al Qaeda acquire nukes though.

I realize it’s an unorthodox view, but I’m sanguine about even bad states going nuclear, since deterrence has a 100% track record in preventing the use of nuclear weapons — even super crazy North Korea’s nukes!

As for your question whether I think Obama would nuke Iran if it nuked Israel, yes, I do. Though he wouldn’t do it out of conviction, he’d do it out of political necessity.

Here's hoping that we never find out, but there's no way Obama would nuke Iran if they nuked Israel. It simply wouldn't happen, and there would be no media outcry to do it. In fact, he'd give them the word and there'd be a media outcry NOT to do it.

I'd bet money on this one, I'm that certain of it.

Undeterred, Cruz said “If you will not stand with Israel and the Jews, then I will not stand with you. Thank you and God bless you.”

I'm really starting to like Cruz...

When did I ever say that Christians are inferior to Jews? I quoted God's written word. You claim to be a "Christian" yet you do not know, nor accept God's written word? And why is it people like you have problems with God's order? Is not a "First born" child always the "First born?" Were not the Jews God's people "First people?"
Really... The Jews did NOT kill your messiah. YOUR SINS did. Praise be to God, Jesus Christ overcame the overwhelming, life ending, burden of taking on YOUR SINS and putting them in Hell so that YOU might live and rose again to resurrect us all back to God in paradise.

I find it interesting how liberals always think they are "entitled" to what rightfully belongs to someone else. The Jews were/are (in a sense) God's first born. Christians were later adopted. God's love for the Jews has never waned. Only their love for Him has. The eternal promises God made to the Jews have not ended. This is the TRUTH. Deal with it or stop calling yourself a Christian. ;-)

Naaaa.... I think you simply have an inferiority complex. You really need to get over that in my opinion.

LOL... You're calling me an idiot and a hypocrite? LOL...

Well to quote that wise man Rush Limbaugh once again, "stupid people are stupid but you can't tell them they are stupid because they will argue with you."

Thank you Jew hater, for making his point. HA HA HA HA HA........

Since when does my pointing out your unethical 'everyone does it' excuse for Israel spying on the United States make me a hypocrite?

You really aren't very bright are you?

Yet you continue to troll... LOL....

Listen. Ethics and espionage have never been two words that belong in the same book much less the same sentence. The fact that you do not understand this FACT shows a smidgen of your ignorance. Second, you are a hypocrite because the only country and people you are whining about "spying on America" are the Israelis. You don't say squat about ISIL (Obama's muslim brotherhood), Russia, China, or any of America's other enemy's spying on us. Nope.... You only complain about our ONLY true friend allegedly spying on us AND you have no problems with us spying on them. LOL... The fact that you cannot see your blatant hypocrisy does nothing less than show us that you are NOT a "Christian", you HATE Israel, Christians, Freedom and Conservatism. You are, without doubt, an obama shill posting on FR in order to try and silence opposition to your messiah and his demonic hordes.

Flame away troll but I've exposed you to anyone willing to see you for what you are. I need not respond to you any further. ;-)
