Those of you who read my posts will know that I called this a "Sister Souljah" event a day or two ago. Does the press come over here and read Free Republic on a regular basis?

Will that help or hurt him in the long run in US politics?

Neither.

Was it a deliberate move to claim credit for standing up for Israel?

No. Cruz’s support of Israel has never been in doubt.

This was not a calculated political move; at least I hope it wasn’t, because he didn’t gain anything from it. It’s a dustup that has no long-term implications. Sister Souljah represented a cultural undercurrent among a HUGE voting block for Democrats. Clinton cynically exploited the obviousness of the situation, and got a lot of praise from a fawning media. It helped him with working class white voters, peeling just enough away from Bush and Perot to get over the line at 43%. This situation has none of those dynamics in play.

I remember when Israel encircled the famous church in Bethlehem after the ROP had taken it over and was in the process of totally trashing it. The Christians who normally operated and protected the church, but were driven out by the ROP, were screaming like mad at the Israelis. For years I couldn’t figure it out...then it occurred to me that Israel wouldn’t be there for long, but their ROP masters will...so whose side does one take then?

So no surprise with this bunch. They’re simply whipped by their ROP masters and know how they have to act if they want to be able to stay alive in those conditions.

My understanding is that the Palestinian Christians are not treated well by the Israelis. But it is clear that the Islamists treat them worse.

Well, they have to find out all the stories they missed. Also, need to keep track of the reaction to their propaganda.

No, but they do follow you and your prognostications!

I love it “Vet”. You’re much quicker and much more precise than any of the “kids and blondes” media out there, serving not as thinkers but simply screen readers.

Freepers often win the jump frame on stories.

Good for you.
