An alternate view on Ted Cruz's speech at the In Defense of Christians conference.

[Pyro7480]

Catholic ping!

[The_Victor]

Cruz was right. Israel and the USA (Christians) share a common enemy.

[elcid1970]

In the ME, “Chrislam” hates Jews & Israel.

[aynrandfreak]

The Kurds were persecuted too, and that didn't make them hate Jews. These people have just been exposed to the propaganda for so long, and subconsciously they had to be anti-Israel to stop from extra persecution, but then it became what they believed.

The problem with political correctness is that no one wants to tell 'protected' peoples, your ways of hatred are wrong, Western values like tolerance are superior. I'm all in on Cruz now!

[grania]

Cruz has got to be very careful on foreign policy. When he takes sides, it could come back to haunt him when situations cause situations to shift.

I have to ask, about Israel. Have they done anything to help save the Christians, Yazitis, and other minorities from ISIS?

[Norm Lenhart]

Gee, how odd that every time someone of principle stands on it and ACTS on it, leftist ‘conservative’/GOP types fly out of the woodwork to condemn it.

[GeronL]

he did not insult them

[skeeter]

According to Politico's report it went like this:

“I will say this: I’m saddened to see that some here, not everyone, are so consumed with hate,” he said at the outset of the video, his comments prompting continued booing and yelling out from some members of the crowd. “I will say this: If you will not stand with Israel and the Jews, then I will not stand with you. Thank you, and God bless you,” he said, walking off stage to scattered applause and boos.

Sounds like the rudeness was all one way.

[eastforker]

Not much difference between that and some of the evangelicals that occupy this forum.I am sure the cow and his minions will show up in a few minutes to tell me how wrong I am.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Ted Cruz “stomped out of the room?” I very much doubt it.

[Steamburg]

It doesn’t sound like a real good time for “Christians” to choose to politically align themselves against the only people who might prevent their extermination. Christians dealing with Hezbollah is the eat me last theory. Perhaps they choose to be martyrs without a following to morn them.

[GeronL]

I want to see the quote where he insulted them BEFORE they heckled him

He didn’t

[skeeter]

"Hater" is one of the left's favorite put-downs.

I guess its not rude when they use it.

[Williams]

He didn’t insult them he expressed his opinion as an American. And he was right.

[dalereed]

To hell with them, if they deal with muslims they are just as bad as the muslims.

Ship them all back to the middle east!

[SoConPubbie]

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

[Ramonne]

True Christians don’t hate any persons or people. Your nationality has nothing to do with being a brother in Christ. I don’t hear the Jewish people hating Germans or Arabs as a general rule, nor of their religious beliefs.

We as Christians need to wake up to those trying to claim kinship with us who hate the Israelies. They are Gods people and He has His Hand on them whether we like it or not. We should be praying for the peace of Jerusalem. Even so, come Lord Jesus.

[P-Marlowe]

Cruz underestimated the inbred hatred of Jews that these Muslims in Christian clothing have.

FWIW Cruz received about an equal amount of applause and ridicule. The hecklers carried the day.

Cruz was right. If these “Christians” will not stand with the Jews, then we should not stand with them.

[longtermmemmory]

seems this heckler group was a very specific vocal group of anti-Israel persons.

[Iron Munro]

If these people are Jew Haters, Ted Cruz did the right thing.
