Yes, Christians are, indeed, persecuted in some parts of the world--especially in the Middle East, what with ISIS on the march.

But why should it be considered (by some) to be impossible to stand firmly against both anti-Christian bigotry and anti-Jewish bigotry (i.e. anti-Semitism)?

I think Sen. Cruz was exactly right on this point.

Was Cruz afraid to speak of the plight of massacred Christians without multiple shout outs to Israel? I mean, it was off topic.
