This would be great. Adelson is worth a bundle.
I am not a HAARETZ subscriber. Can someone please direct me to a place to read the piece?
So Cruz is not immune to political pandering. Guess it goes with being a candidate. Something unseemly about all of them trapping to Adelson’s feet looking for money.
So happens Cruz actually believe in a Jew-loving Christian theology. So sue him if you don’t like it.
In the meantime, God is grinning.
“US Sen. Ted Cruz with Cuban Jewish family roots, will receive the Defender of Israel Award from Israeli Rabbi Shmuley Boteach and Elie Wiesel.”
No pandering, my friend, he was there to receive an award for his principled and long standing convictions.
Cruz is also for increasing H1B’s and a proponent of legal immigration— for which positions he’s taking some flak. Now, if he were a typical politician, he would flip-flop and pander by coming off those positions. But he’s not, and he won’t.
Not pandering with Cruz. He means it. His support for Israel goes way back.
It's more serious than political "pandering". Adelson is very much into political ownership.
If elected, Adelson will be Cruz's Soros.
Sorry- I’m not a registered Haaretz user- the article was generally available, now it’s not. There is an anti-Israel website that has reprinted the article. I don’t wish to post the link, but if you’re interested, just send a private mail and I’ll provide the link.
That alone should TOWER above most candidates seeking the nomination.
Ping.
Yes...it would be a game changer if Cruz can woo Adelson’s support.
Go Ted!
Just curious what the writer had to say about Krispie’s reception/speech. Thanks.
He knows what he believes. That is good. Very good.
I think Christie was there because the sponsor was Shmuley Boteach, who has run for Congress in New Jersey. Christie was the keynote speaker at last year’s event.
“...If elected, Adelson will be Cruz’s Soros.”

You couldn’t be further from the truth. Ted Cruz is a man of integrity and a committed constitutional conservative. He’ll be no man’s puppet and will actually work to restore the American Republic.
AND Mr. Sheldon Adelson must surely know that much!
The substance of the article is pretty well summarized in the thread. Few sentences about Gingrich, Mendenez, and other non-political attendees. As for Christie:
“Christie gave a rather uninspiring address dotted with words like hope, love, and understanding. He criticized Obama, saying that he made it seem that America was the reason for violence in the world. Strength must come first, he said, before hope.
The guy is impressive. Folks we have to get rid of Bush...that leaves the door open for a conservative. We can argue later but lets keep our target in order.
Sheldon Adelson owns Ted Cruz:
On immigration: Im pro-Dream Act, Im pro the Dream Act. My parents were immigrants to this country, he said. What are we going to do? Listen, Im sure a lot of my parents generation ..snuck into the ship and they came into the country.
So people will do anything to leave massacres and to leave the economic conditions they cant put food on their own table.
There has been in our history a lot of illegal immigration. Do I approve of it? No, but its here.
It would be inhumane to send those people back , to send 12 million people out of this country to disrupt a whole potpourri of family issues over what happens to the children.
I mean its all ridiculous. So weve got to find a way, find a route for those people to get legal citizenship, he said.
