Republican Sen. Ted Cruz said the United States should not be attempting to tell Israel how to negotiate peace with the Palestinians, and he wouldn’t do so if elected president.

“Israel is a sovereign nation, and I trust the leaders of Israel to determine whether they want to adopt a one-state solution or a two-state solution,” Cruz said in an interview broadcast Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

The Obama administration has “demonstrated an arrogance that America’s going to dictate the terms of security in Israel. It’s not our place to do it,” Cruz said. …

The "Palestinians" were offered their own state in the original 1947 resolution, but rejected it. The "Palestinians" do not want their own state. They want Israel not to exist.

MYTH: The Jews created the refugee problem by expelling the Palestinians

Absolutely correct. And they didn’t call themselves “Palestinians” back then either.

There never has been a Palestinian people until after Israel was formed.

Not even after. Misnomers do not a “people” make. And that’s aside from the whole “Arab unity” thing, whose goal is a restored Caliphate either way.

Such a statement goes against the establishment grain, he will continue to do so, will other candidates follow, will they be so bold, will they be able to handle the flack if they do.

Cruz knows what he believes he has a moral compass his direction is set, he will cut thru all obstacles in his path straight ahead, where as others will lose/waste precious time and resource trying to navigate around them.

Yep a man for the times CRUZ 2016!

I think Israel (Netanyahu) should send a couple of political teams over here to raise money for Cruz and put anti-democrat ads on television and more. Then, lets see how the left that says nothing about Obama sending his team over there to defeat Netanyahu can handle that.

You would think 2 districts named for over 2,000 years after Jewish secs would belong to Israel and not the invaders.

I remember when President W Bush was running and he said he would put our embassy in Jerusalem to show our support that Jerusalem was the capital of Israel. I was really happy about that. Instead he got on the bandwagon to split Israel up once he was elected. I pray Sen. Cruz means what he says if elected.
