Ted Cruz is a Zionist and idolater who worships the modern state of Israel, conflating it with the biblical Kingdom of Israel.
Before the founders (many of whom were atheists) of the “Jewish state” settled on the name Israel in 1948, they considered:
-Ever (root word for Hebrew)
-Ivriya (Hebrew state)
-Judea (biblical kingdom)
-Eretz Yisrael (biblical land of Israel)
-Zion (rejected because it was too religious)
-And my personal favorite: Herzliya (for Theodor Herzl, the atheist antisemite who founded the Zionist movement)
Had they chosen a different name, Cruz would still be a Zionist shill, but he’d come up with a different lie to justify it.
