“A Ted talk turned rowdy last night when the subject came to Israel.
Texas firebrand Ted Cruz found he simply couldn’t get a word in edgewise when the crowd at a conference for Middle Eastern Christians in D.C. booed him offstage for expressing support for Israel.
The Republican senator was the keynote speaker for the affair organized by the nonprofit, In Defense of Christians, and told dinner guests, “Tonight, we are all united in defense of Christians. Tonight, we are all united in defense of Jews. Tonight, we are all united in defense of people of good faith … Christians have no greater ally than Israel.””* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

I wouldn’t boo him for his support of Israel. I would boo him for his support of Dominion Theology. Supporting Israel is just part of his agenda, and after he achieves that it’s pretty much expendable.
What an idiot. Cruz said the Israeli people and the Jews, the government was never mentioned. It’s like Muslims hating Americans for the actions of their government, there is a difference.
Admittedly, when the people “elect” their governments and don’t revolt when the system is rigged against them, it could be said they are in tacit approval and compliance, but that is hardly relevant when individuals are being beheaded because of a larger system that couldn’t give a chap about individuals. So yes, I do feel sorry for the Jewish people, and the Christian people and the Muslim people, and all the other little people caught up and used like pawns in a giant game of “fuck you”
