It does prove to me that Cruz knew that the anti-Israel sentiments ran stronger than anti ISIL.  I don't understand that, given the current massacre of Christians by Arab extremists (not Jewish ones). [/quote]

This makes no sense. If Cruz knew the organization was full of anti-Semites, why did he agree to speak to it in the first place? He clearly was uninformed and shared your belief that Arab Christians would be pro-Israel. I'm sure none of the Christians was the least bit supportive of IS, but the enemy of their enemy is not always their friend.

I think he deliberately wanted to expose the organization's true beliefs. I'm quite sure Cruz knew the history and discussions behind the organization's sponsor. Wikileaks exposed the state dept. docs a while back. Easy for me to know means Easy for Cruz to know

I don't understand how Arab Christians could hate Jews/Israel and not see Arabs in ISIL as anything but evil, given the current massacre. After seeing the behavior at that conference, I don't feel quite the same empathy for these Arab Christians. I do feel badly that they are so misguided. [/quote]Could you just stop for a minute and [i]think[/i]? What makes you think that Arab Christians don't think ISIL is evil?  It is possible to be both critical of Israel [i]and[/i] critical of ISIL.  And many of us critics of Israel (regardless of ethnicity or religion) are equally if not more critical of ISIL.

You do realize, don't you, that Arab Christians don't get better treatment than Arab Muslims either in Israel or the West Bank and Gaza? As far as many Jewish Israelis are concerned, ethnicity is what should determine your living situation and your future - not religion.  [/quote]
