I don't think it was his handlers, it looks like Cruz made the decision.
What I discovered the next day is that Cruz had known exactly what he was doing. Indeed, he had read the article that had been published about the event just that day and which essentially repeated Frank Ghadry’s allegation that the conference organizers were close to Hezbollah.

Being ignorant of this group I read up
Alana Goodman of Bre?rt is pushing this story.
A lebanese nigerian oil tycoon Chagoury....who is accused of being the bagman of Hezbollahs primary Christian ally in the ever changing national government of Lebanon is accused by Goodman of being a major contributor to this Defense of Christians
He is a Christian and on the board of St Jude here in Memphis
The actual organizer of the event sided with Cruz and admonished hecklers
Goodman has run with this angle and some on the right are taking it as gospel
Some are not.
The truth is likely as I said from the getgo...more muddied which infuriates many here
Jews will never support Cruz....he will be ridiculed by them in the media like they did Palin
And there are not enough Christian Arabs to matter and looks like he pleased few
I understand folks here go gaga over Israel but that base is already secure for him
I can only guess that when the media which includes predominate libtard Jews goes fullbore on him should he gain traction he hopes he can point to this episode to prove hes not anti Semite by default
They have already called his dad one.
Now Cruz is saying on his website to support Israel or youre an anti Semite
Cruz better be careful.....that sorta talk is a tar baby
I dont get it.
I personally know Christians who lost their land in 47_48 and they simply are angry over it
They are not anti semites if
This is what the left does.....smear those who disagree
So why enter the hornets nest
