Its a bit early to be calling Ted a statesman BE

I mean....he’s my favorite too...but I think he waded into this not knowing this group wasnt going to rah rah Israel to his degree

So he called them anti Semites and walked off

This group applauded his first pro Israel remarks then got irritated as he kept at it ...according to article...

What’s the point in picking a fight with old Christian Arabs still miffed over grievances from 60 years ago?

I fail to see the idealistic point or political capital point

Which leads me to guess he thought given their name they would be fellow travelers about Israel

And they were largely...up to a point

I just don’t believe his staff said let’s go find some pissed off Christian Arabs to agitate and call anti Semites.....

Doesn’t make sense

Folks here keep saying truth

Is Ted Cruz now the arbiter of anti semitism?

Hmmmmm...not for me

People who advance the killing of Jews and the destruction of Israel are anti Semites......that's seems rather obvious to me!!!

Here’s another perspective of what occurred at the event and the identity of the organizers and some attendees.

I wish we had more leaders who would walk into a mosque and expose the same savages.

Let me ask you this; IF he did know what he was getting in to, and we all know what he said, would that qualify as statesman like?
