A lot of Middle East Christians have no use for Israel, and for a lot of different reasons. Their worldview is not ours.

Survival sharpens self interest in amazing ways.

Cruz should have known his audience better.

Cruz should have known his audience better.

Oh, Cruz and his staff knew full well who the audience was. But being the Leader and Statesman that he is, he instead of running away, chose to attempt to educate and stand on principle.

Something the rest of the potential POTUS field would never do, because of the possible political fall-out.

This is called Presidential-level Leadership.

Middle Eastern Christians are now living in our country of Judeo-Christian values. If they feel so badly about that, they can pack off home. Cruz was right.

You’re not the only one who understands that. Arab Christians have little reason to love the nation of Israel. Cruz is not ready for prime-time if he makes remarks that he should have know would alienate his audience. He’s a very smart guy; I’m surprised he messed up like this.
