US senator leaves after boos for pro-Israel stand

A Republican senator mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2016 said he walked out of a speech Wednesday night to a Christian organization after some audience members booed his comments in support of Israel and the Jewish people.

 

At the "In Defense of Christians" dinner, Sen. Ted Cruz said he told the gathering that those who hate Israel also hate the United States and those who hate the Jewish people also hate Christians. He said that hatred of Israel and Jews runs counter to the teachings of Christ. That elicited boos from a small but vocal minority. Cruz insisted that Christians in the Middle East have no better friend than Israel.
