U.S. Senator Ted Cruz has been criticized and booed off stage after he delivered a biased and complimentary speech supporting Israel at a conference in Washington DC held for Arab Christians on Wednesday.
Republican Ted Cruz reportedly left the gala upon being offended by the jeering after his comments, "Those who hate Israel hate America. Those who hate Jews hate Christians."
He said that Christians residing in the Middle East have no greater ally than Israel. "Hate against Israel and Jews are against Christ's teachings," he told the audience.
Cruz reportedly claimed he was booed only by a small but a loud group among the audience. As the conference descended into further jeering, Cruz ended his speech with, "If you will not stand with Israel and Jews, I will not stand with you."
