Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) delivered a grim warning Tuesday night about what he called a “growing cancer” of antisemitism emerging on the American right — a rare public rebuke from one of the GOP’s most prominent conservatives.
Speaking at Hagee Ministries’ 45th annual Night to Honor Israel in San Antonio, Cruz said that while antisemitism had long taken root on the political left, he now sees an alarming rise among conservatives.
“In the last six months, I have seen antisemitism rising on the right in a way I have never seen in my entire life,” Cruz said to a packed audience. “This poison of antisemitism on the right — it is spreading with young people. It is gaining traction.”
The Texas senator, a longtime ally of Israel, said that when he met recently with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he warned that online hate was no longer just “AstroTurf” from foreign governments but “organic — real people, real voices.”
Cruz cited examples of right-wing figures who have downplayed Adolf Hitler’s crimes, calling them “the embodiment of evil,” and denounced the spread of “replacement theology” among some young Christians — the belief that the Christian church has replaced the Jewish people.
“They are being taught lies — theological lies,” Cruz said. “The promises God made to Israel are still good. They are still valid.”
Cruz’s comments come amid intensifying debates within the Republican Party over support for Israel and rising antisemitic rhetoric online. In recent months, he has clashed with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, both of whom have been criticized for remarks sympathetic to anti-Israel sentiment.
“The church is asleep right now,” Cruz told the audience, urging faith leaders to confront the issue directly. “If we don’t root this out, it will rot the moral core of the right — and of America itself.”

The Carlsons, Owens are just old fashioned, that’s all. People like Charlie Kirk, Cruz, Huckabee, Hegseth are of a new type of gentile.
Just like the prophecies of the Bible have come true regarding the pagan world becoming jewish (which was only partially fulfilled, because the gentiles hate the jews too much and are afraid of the jewish global domination, and are too stupid to realize that “their religion” was created to trick them into becoming jewish without them realizing it – הודו לה’ קראו בשמו הודיעו בעמים עלילותיו – “Alilah” as in “Alilos dvarim”)
So too, do we now see the fulfillment of the prophecy of the Rambam, that they will recognize that they are wrong.

They now support Israel and Torah, something absolutely UNHEARD of 800 years ago. They publicly call the historical church theology WRONG , and support Torah Judaism (old testament Israel)
Mind blowing stuff that are right in front of our eyes, but you have to see and know the history
