Every evening, in Tel Aviv, right wing marchers flood the streets, waving Israeli flags and chanting hate-slogans, such as the most common, “death to the Arabs” and many others. Often, these are counter-protests to the anti-war demonstrations that have begun since Israel’s latest onslaught on the Gaza strip, but these are also independent initiatives, which aim to encourage the State of Israel to continue the bombardment with full force.
Israeli activists who oppose the war have become the victims of these rallies, as they turn into full-fledged riots. One of the activists testified that after the rally in the video, “a few of them started kicking and throwing punches, someone tried to beat us with a flag stick, and one rioter in an IDF uniform pepper sprayed me in the face…friends who stayed in the area told me that the cops shook the soldier’s hand.”
The day of this particular rally, OCHA reported: Approximately, 1000 Palestinians have been bombed to death, over 200 of them children. Over 6200 have been injured, 2000 of them children. Over 215,000 displaced people- schools have turned into refugee camps. 130 schools have been bombed.
This is Israel’s third such operation on the Gaza Strip in the past 6 years, which it besieges from land, air and sea. Gaza is 360 km² , about twice the size of Washington DC. It is one of the most crowded places in the world, with a population density of 4,505 persons per square km. 52% of its population are children.
Charming, aren't they? You know, the israeli's sit in lawnn chairs every night and watch the bombings like they're fireworks, and yet they can't understand why they're reviled.

I've read that and have seen pics posted of them watching the bombings from the safety of Israel. Never before have these vile subhumans been so exposed to daylight. Only the most mind numb among us still buys the Jewish propaganda streamed at us 24x7.

Here's a Guardian article, with photos, that confirms what the 2 of you have said. Disgusting!
Ted Cruz says he agrees with the Gaza strategy, which the lawn chair recliners are supporting. Yet you say he's "smart."
Let's be clear - Cruz is not in a lawn chair sitting next to Israelis watching and cheering the bombing of Palestinians while stuffing his face with popcorn.
Whether he supports Israel's strategy in Gaza because he truly believes it's "self-defense" or because he knows in order to get elected as Pres one needs to be pro-Israel is unknown to us. I suspect it's the latter, in which case he is politically astute. If it's the former, he reflects an attitude that's in keeping with what a majority of Americans feel about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
In terms of raw IQ, I think Cruz is very smart ( as is Rand Paul). Cruz attended Princeton for his under graduate degree and got his law degree from Harvard. He's argued before the SC 9 times, his first SC case was at age 32. etc etc
If you want perfection, Cruz is not your guy. Neither is Rand Paul.
