Ted Cruz booed off stage while defending Israel

"Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) abruptly walked off stage at an event organized by a pro-Christian organization in Washington, D.C., Wednesday night after the crowd turned on him for vociferously defending Israel.

Delivering the keynote at an event hosted by the group In Defense of Christians, which raises awareness for persecuted Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East, Cruz said, "Christians have no greater ally than Israel." That's when the crowd began to boo, according to The Daily Caller.

He also lumped Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, and al Qaeda together, saying they "are all engaged in a vicious genocidal campaign to destroy religious minorities in the Middle East."

"Those who hate Israel hate America," he added, prompting more boos and heckling.

As the crowd continued to shout, Cruz said, "If you will not stand with Israel and the Jews, then I will not stand with you," and then left the stage". --Jon Terbush

-----now here's the website of the group he was speaking to, would somebody tell me what "kind" of Christians wears funny acts like that?

http://www.indefenseofchristians.org/

did any of you boys check the website of the group that held this little confab?...did you notice that MOST, if not all of the arab speakers, or group big shots are NOT New Testament Christians? but greek orthodox and Coptic, or anything BUT NT Christians?......you didn't pick that up, did you?

nor the fact that Ted Cruz is a romanist anyway...i'm sure Israel appreciates the support, just as they do from elements of the religious right, just as they appreciate tourist dollars from American Christians wishing to retrace the Earthly Ministry of the JEWISH Messiah, Jesus, or explore the Land of the Old Testament...but tell me , why ANY Jew would trust ANY Gentile follower of Jesus, considering your forefathers UGLY history towards the Jewish people since 315 AD?

why?...the Crusades? inquisitions? ...the romanist poles, who ran the Jews out of Warsaw in the 1100's?.....or the Brit's, all "Christians" and romanists who ran them out of Britain in the 1300's...or the german "Lutheran pastors" who took to wearing swastika's in the 30's and 40's, spewing out Martin Luther's last hate filled screed, "On Jews and their Lies" to please their demonic messiah, hitler.

and to read how 'alabama', doesn't "trust any Jewish antichristian" the same as he wouldn't trust any "American atheist"...yeh buddy, I always known how the southern "bible belters" LOVE the Jews, bout as mush as they love the "nigras".

you know who I love?...General Sherman. yeh buddy, God used that man as an instrument of punishment on sin loving slaveholders, burned a HUGE swath of rebel territory.

late breaking news, no more holocausts, its a new day, Jews with nukes.

Greg, you might to lock this thread, i'm going to get ugly, I have little tolerance for Israel haters, or Jew haters...either that or just boot me.

yeh, yeh Jimmy...heard it all before, "I love Israel, but not Zionism"....or "they're two different things", as KingJimmy proclaimeth.

its a phony argument, and if you did boo him off the stage, you'd be the only American accented boo in that crowd.

and wasn't it you the other day, I was reading, breathlessly writing how you'd be loving and praying for the ISIS jihadi's as they cleaved your head off with a scimitar?

that's a change from the old days, when you hoorahed President Bush into invading Iraq, and writing vast posts arguing for what a "just war" means.

what happened? a little disillusioned with the republican party?

lets look at some facts, first, Israel has not been given one moments peace since day one of independence, every Greek orthodox church in Jerusalem is unmolested, as are the mosques, cant say that about any arab countries, save Jordan, but their monarch is half british, so he acts civilized, as opposed to the other surrounding arab nations.

far as the optics of the recent dustup in Gaza, hamas is a gaggle of phony coward arab muslims, they hide their missiles that they fire into Israel under the buildings their grandmothers and children live...or they hide them in their mosques..swell bunch of guys, these jihadis.

24/7/365 brave Israeli boys have to man the walls, because until these arabs learn to love their children, more than they love to kill Jews, there will be no peace.

every missile fired into Israel, every hitchhiking Israeli teenager kidnapped and murdered, these arabs will pay the price in spades.

far as American money, $3 bln a year, the US is buying Israel's unparrelled intelligence services, at a bargain price, as it cost the US $70 bln a year to wage war in Iraq and Afghanistan...face it pal, Israel is a reality on the ground, whether you, or the arabs like it...who cares.

We are going to lock this thread, because of his primarily political tone, this is not a place to discuss american politics. We do believe there is a growing anti-israel anti-semetism in america that I trust no one on SermonIndex forums will contribute to. We are encouraged there is a nation Israel, support them and pray that according to the Scriptures many abroad and in Israel itself will come to know the Messiah as Scriptures say.

There are only just over 20 million jews across the entire world. They are a legacy to the Scriptures and God's Word that He would preserve these people until the end.

this thread is locked.

Seriously??? Anyone who criticizes good men who are being maligned and heckled for standing up for what is right, speaks volumes about what sort of person they are...wow!

Please, lets keep our personal politics out of this and stand up for what is right - every time, regardless of what brand of politics they stand for. Are we still babies with regard to these things?
