Ted Cruz Enrages Jews and Christians by his support for the Israel Zionist State

Ted Cruz: Christians must support Israel

Within one month after the election, new Senator Ted Cruz twice traveled to Israel. Here he meets with his new boss, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. On Thursday, Canadian-born American Senator Ted (Refael) Cruz with Cuban Jewish family roots, was booed offstage during a dinner for the Middle East's Christian conference in Washington DC. "Christians have no greater ally than Israel. Tonight, we are all united in defense of Christians. Tonight, we are all united in defense of Jews," Ted Cruz said. Ted Cruz, who is one of many Israel's lackeys in the US Senate angered Christian audience including Lebanon's ambassador in Washington, Antoine Chedid, when he started ranting Israeli hasbara lies about Jewish love for the Christians. In 2012 former Israeli ambassador Michael Oren tried to stop Bob Simon's report on Christians' plight in Israel scheduled to be aired by the CBS. In addition to pleasing the Jewish Lobby, Cruz also evoked some of pastor John Hagee's "religious" lies. He showed his "American Christian patriotism" by saying: "Those who hate Israel hate America. Those who hate Jews hate Christians. If those in this room don't recognize that, then my heart weeps." "If you hate the Jewish people, you're not reflecting the teachings of Jesus," Cruz added. According to Jewish scholar, Benjamin Freedman, Jesus was not Jewish. Then Ted Cruz turned his wrath over to the supporters of Palestinian people, Hamas, Hizbullah, Iran and Syria. To add some spices to his "Zionist curry", Cruz included Zionist-created Al-Qaeda and the ISIS terrorists among Israel's Muslim enemies. "Religious bigotry is a cancer with many manifestations," he said. "ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, state sponsors like Syria and Iran, are all engaged in a vicious genocidal campaign to destroy religious minorities in the Middle East," Cruz said. Cruz's comments on the region were too extreme for the audience, and provoked a round of cries that firmly asked him to leave. "Stop it, stop it, enough," and "Out, out, leave the stage!" were some of the shouts aimed at the senator, which prompted the In Defense of Christians (the sponsor of the said conference) president, Toufic Baaklini, to join Cruz on stage and ask the crowd to listen. After failing in attempts to be heard, the senator announced "if you will not stand with Israel and the Jews, then I will not stand with you. Good night and God bless," before walking off the stage, with some carrying on the shouts and others applauding his departure. Lebanese Christian MPs Jean Ogassapian, Atef Majdalani and former MP  Ghattas Khoury all left the conference in protest to Cruz' Israeli propaganda. Patriarch Gregory III Laham also intended to leave but was persuaded by the Maronite Patriarch Beshara Rai, a Zionist poodle, to stay.

Lebanese Christians take up arms as ISIS terror spreads

Lebanon

As Christians flee Syria and Iraq to escape the radical Islamic State, Lebanese Christians are preparing themselves for the possibility of hostilities flowing over their border. 

For the first time since the Lebanese civil war ended in 1990, Lebanese Christians are arming themselves for self-defense, deploying on hills surrounding their communities, and laying in ambush in case Muslim extremists head their way. 

“We all know that if they come, they will slit our throats for no reason,” said one villager as he drove through the streets of the border town Qaa, an assault rifle resting next to him.

In Iraq, thousands of Christians have fled rather than face the alternatives—convert to Islam or die. Their homes have been claimed as Islamic State property and marked with the Arabic letter ‘N’ for Nasarani, or Christian. Believers around the world have claimed the symbol as a rallying cry and show of solidarity. 

Meanwhile, thousands of Syrian Christians have been displaced over the course of the three-year conflict there as militants destroy churches and entire communities. Many of the Christians from Iraq and Syria have taken refuge in Lebanon but are beginning to feel insecure even in the pluralistic country.

Vandals spray painted the walls of several churches in northern Lebanon this week with the words, “The Islamic State is coming,” after someone posted a video online of boys burning an Islamic flag in a Christian neighborhood in Beirut.

Some leftist and communist groups in Lebanon have supported the rearming of Christians, and black market weapons sales have climbed. Even Hezbollah, a Shiite group, has indirectly supported the effort, hoping the Christians would be a last defense for Shiite towns in eastern Lebanon. Anxiety along the border rose after Syrian militants overran the border town of Arsal, killing and abducting soldiers and police in the worst spillover from the Syrian conflict since March 2011. 

But there is concern that the rearming effort could raise tensions in Lebanon, which is split over the Syrian conflict. During its own 15-year civil war, the right wing Phalange group fought on behalf of Lebanese Christians. 

The number of Christians in the Middle East is rapidly declining as jihadist groups target their communities, and many Christians have fled Syria for Europe. Iraq’s Ninevah region and the provincial capital of Mosul has been emptied of the Christian communities that have lived in the area for centuries. 

“We are scared,” Umm Milad, a young Iraqi woman said while waiting to collect aid at a Chaldean church in Beirut. She came to Lebanon with her husband and children after someone painted an ‘N’ on their home in Mosul in July. The terrorists gave them 24 hours to leave. “We don’t want to go back. We want to go anywhere else. Canada or America.”
