While his opponent Donald Trump said he would take a [terrorist supporting] stance on the [so-called] “Palestine”-Israeli conflict, Republican Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz only recognizes one side.
On Cruz’s website, one of nine main platform issues is ‘Stand with Israel,” where he says on the first day of office, his administration would “recognize Jerusalem as the eternal, undivided capital of Israel and the US embassy will be moved to Israel’s capital city.”
Below are other bulletin points on his website under ’Stand with Israel’;
–We must make clear to the world that the U.S.-Israel alliance is once again a strategic bedrock for the United States
-America’s security is significantly enhanced by a strong Israel. Israel has been, is, and always will be the Middle East bulwark in defense of the West. Our American-Israeli alliance is something to celebrate.
-A Cruz administration will continue to support Israel’s regional qualitative military edge and make sure that, especially in light of the worsening security climate caused by Iran and ISIS, Israel has everything it needs to defend itself.
-We should strengthen our partnership with Israel by supporting cooperative efforts such as missile defense to counter terrorism.
-A President Cruz will immediately reassess US policy towards the [PLO]. Not one penny of American tax dollars should go to an organization that incites hatred against Jews and seeks to partner with the terrorist group Hamas.
-We should move to defund the United Nations if it continues its anti-Israel bias and withdraw federal funding from any American university that boycotts Israel.
This week, Cruz sealed the deal with an endorsement from the nation’s largest pro-Israel PAC, NORPAC.
“We are fortunate that there are several candidates for president who can be expected to have a positive outlook on U.S.-Israel relations. However, one of the candidates for president, Senator Ted Cruz, has clearly shown that the safety and security of the Jewish homeland is an emotional and religious priority. Senator Cruz has demonstrated a superior understanding of the issues in the Middle East and a deep commitment to America’s historic role as the guardian of our ally, Israel,” said NORPAC President Ben Chouake.
