Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Chris Coons, D-Del., preside over a Senate hearing on compensation for American victims of Palestinian and Iranian terrorism on Wed., Nov. 4, 2015. Both called on the United Stated to do more to make sure victims receive due repayments. (Sylvan Lane/Staff photo).

WASHINGTON–Sen. Ted Cruz claimed the Obama Administration has prevented American terror victims from receiving compensation for their losses and called the Iranian nuclear deal “the worst betrayal.”

Cruz, a Republican presidential candidate and one the deal’s most active critics, called the money it would release to Iran through sanctions relief “a national disgrace” during a Senate hearing on compensation for American victims of Iranian and Palestinian terror.

“We want you know that we haven’t forgotten these crimes, and we will never forget,” said Cruz, chairman of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee holding the hearing. “Even today the killing still rages.”

...

A New York federal district court in February found the Palestinian Authority and Palestine Liberation Organization liable in six terror attacks between 2002 and 2004 in Israel that resulted in American casualties. The court awarded the victims $655.5 million, but the Justice Department in August argued the bond would impose devastating costs on the PA, the region’s government.

That, the department claimed, could “lead to a crisis that would not only impact the security of Israelis and Palestinians, but would potentially have ripple effects elsewhere in the region”

Has he yet justified his support for the Obama agenda when he voted for the Corker bill that enables what he just condemned?

I'll post the links only for people who still want to know the facts.

A troll will always be a troll!

Corker Bill:

• Sen. Cruz: Congress Must Approve Any Iran Deal
  Cruz, Toomey file amendment to give Congress more power over Obama’s Iran deal
• Ted Cruz: Why I voted YES for Corker Iran bill
  He made lemonade out of a lemon bill.

Ted Cruz's Record of defending U.S. Sovereignty:

• Fought and won a landmark ruling for U.S. sovereignty in Medellin v. Texas at the U.S. Supreme Court against 90 foreign nations and the President to ensure the supremacy of U.S. legal system against encroachment by international treaties and rulings of the “World Court.”
• Cosponsored a resolution urging the president not to sign the UN Arms Treaty, which would have subordinated the Second Amendments rights of American citizens to global interests.
