It's Time To Draft Ted Cruz for President

And you are overlooking the fact that Cruz wasn't going to ignore those who claim to be for the persecution of Christians in the Middle East only raising their voices on the issue because they are anti-Semitic. He was very well aware there would be radical speakers at the conference. It was to them he addressed his point.

Do you think Ted Cruz would lay his own reputation and political aspirations on the line for no good apparent reason? I would say he would not.

I support Israel as a Democratic ally.

I think you missed that "equal protection" thing but I would not expect you to view that as very important.

Israel is as democratic as the South was under the greatest days of the Klan.

But: You're not the first white conservative to applaud practices like that though are you so it's all good.

Israel Shahak was born on April 28, 1933 in Warsaw, Poland. In 1943-5, the Nazis in the Poniatowo and Bergen–Belsen concentration camps imprisoned Shahak and his parents. The 12–year–old Shahak and his mother immigrated to Palestine after the liberation of the camps in 1945. In the 1960s, while working as Professor of Chemistry at Hebrew University, Shahak became one of Israel´s leading voices of dissent. In 1970 he was elected chairman of the Israeli Human and Civil Rights League, and spent the next three decades strongly advocating equality and civil rights. In the 1990s, Shahak emerged as one of the strongest critics of the Oslo ‘peace process’, which he denounced as a fraud and a vehicle for making the Israeli occupation more efficient.

Let's take a peek into the laws and practices exposed by this author:

...the murder of a Jew is a capital offense and one of the three most heinous sins (the other two being idolatry and adultery). Jewish religious courts and secular authorities are commanded to punish, even beyond the limits of the ordinary administration of justice, anyone guilty of murdering a Jew. A Jew who indirectly causes the death of another Jew is, however, only guilty of what talmudic law calls a sin against the 'laws of Heaven', to be punished by God rather than by man.

When the victim is a Gentile, the position is quite different. A Jew who murders a Gentile is guilty only of a sin against the laws of Heaven, not punishable by a court.1 To cause indirectly the death of a Gentile is no sin at all.2

Incorporated into a booklet published by the Central Region Command of the Israeli Army, whose area includes the West Bank. In this booklet the Command's Chief Chaplain writes:

When our forces come across civilians during a war or in hot pursuit or in a raid, so long as there is no certainty that those civilians are incapable of harming our forces, then according to the Halakhah they may and even should be killed ... Under no circumstances should an Arab be trusted, even if he makes an impression of being civilized ... In war, when our forces storm the enemy, they are allowed and even enjoined by the Halakhah to kill even good civilians, that is, civilians who are ostensibly good.

Yeah, they're democratic all right. Like any other murderous group of religious zealots.

That's really not what America is or should support. Again: Cruz deserved to be boo'd.
