Ted Cruz Claims FAA's Ban on Flights to Israel is an Economic Boycott of Israel

[JI7]

no mention that we are also giving aid to israel for defense while the senate cut aid that Obama wanted for the migrant kids coming to the US. the aid we are giving to palestinians is humanitarian aid.

225 million is for Israel. 47 million is for Palestinians.

you can read his own entire statement at the link but it's full of shit.


<U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Wednesday questioned the FAA’s decision to ban flights to Israel on behalf of the Obama Administration while, at the same time, announcing continuing aid that will be funneled to Hamas.

“Aiding Hamas while simultaneously isolating Israel does two things. One, it helps our enemy. Two, it hurts our ally,” said Sen. Cruz.

He charged, “The facts suggest that President Obama has just used a federal regulatory agency to launch an economic boycott on Israel, in order to try to force our ally to comply with his foreign-policy demands.”.>

I highly doubt it.

6. Ted sez:

Never let a little public safety get in the way of good politics.

8. I think we all agree that if a flight had been hit with a rocket, they would ALL blame Obama

I'm getting really sick of these people.
