Ted Cruz Uses the Bible to Justify Israel Support

Tucker Carlson1:28

Transcription

Growing up in Sunday school, I was taught from the Bible, those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. And from my perspective, I want to be on the blessing side of things, of those who bless the government of Israel.

Those who bless Israel is what it says. Doesn't say the government of it. Says the nation of Israel. So that's in the Bible. As a Christian, I believe that. Where is that? I I can find it to you. I I don't have the the scripture off the tip of my tongue.

You pull out the phone and use it. It's in Genesis. So you're quoting a a Bible phrase. You don't have context for it and you don't know where in the Bible it is. But that's like your theology. I'm confused. What does that even mean, Tucker? I'm a Christian. I want to know what you're talking about.

Okay. Where does my support for Israel come from? Number one, because biblically we are commanded to support Israel. But number two, hold on. No, not hold on. You're a senator and now you're throwing out theology and I am a Christian and I am allowed to weigh in on this. We are commanded as Christians to support the government of Israel. We are commanded to support Israel and we're told those who bless Israel will be blessed. But what?

Hold on. Define Israel. This is important. Are you kidding? I This This is a majority Christian country. Define Israel. Could you not know what Israel is? That would be the country you've asked like 49 questions about. So that's what Genesis refers to. That's what God is talking about. The nation of Israel. Yes.

The And he's So does that the current borders, the current leadership? He's talking about the political entity called Israel. He he's talking about the nation of Israel. Yeah. Nations exist and he is discussing a nation. A nation was the people of Israel. The nation referring to in Genesis. Is that the same as the country run by Benjamin Netanyahu right now?
