Amen.
Mr Opportunist—the flailing Cruz—collapsed in the polls after stupidly trying to latch onto the soaring Trump aura.
At a recent “In Defense of Christians” event, Cruz was booed off the stage.....he demonstrated his appalling ignorance of the plight of Christians in the middle east.
The obsessively-opportunistic Cruz used the audience’s goodwill to promote his agenda, rather than comment on Christians’ plight....he was booed off the stage.
Hey, Liz, did you know when he received the boos? When he said something about Israel, then followed up with this:
“In 1948, Jews throughout the Middle East faced murder and extermination and fled to the nation of Israel. And today, Christians have no greater ally than the Jewish state. [mixed applause, boos, “come on”] Let me say this, those who hate Israel, hates America. And those who hate Jews, hate Christians. And if this room will not recognize that, then my heart weeps, that the men and women here will not stand in solidarity with Jews and Christians alike who are persecuted by radicals [applause] who seek to — [applause]. If you hate the Jewish people you are not reflecting the teachings of Christ [applause]. And the very same people who persecute and murder Christians right now, who crucify Christians and behead Children are the very same people who target and murder Jews for their faith for the very same reason.”
I do not pretend to know all the ins and outs and do understand some ME Christians aren’t too fond of Israel. However, to me, it doesn’t look good for those concerned about the plight of Christians (who are darned near wiped out) while at the same time, booing a statement about Jewish persecution during the Holocaust.
