Ma Tucker Carlson contro Ted Cruz sulla questione Israele/Iran è stato postato?

“As a Christian, growing up in Sunday school, I was taught from the Bible that those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed. I want to be on the blessing side of things,” he stated, an apparent reference to Genesis 12:3. Cruz’s biblical reference drew immediate scrutiny. “Those who bless the government of Israel?” Carlson countered.
“Those who bless Israel is what it says, it doesn’t say the government of, it says the nation of Israel,” Cruz replied.
When Cruz struggled to pinpoint the chapter and verse, Carlson questioned his theological grounding. “You’re quoting a Bible phrase you don’t have context for, you don’t know where in the Bible it is, and that’s your theology? I’m confused … I’m a Christian, I want to know what you’re talking about,” Carlson said.
Cruz explained his support for Israel is based on the Bible. “Biblically, we are commanded to support Israel. Second — ” “Hold on,” Carlson interjected. “We’re commanded as Christians to support the government of Israel?”
When pressed whether he believes “what God was talking about in Genesis” is a “political entity that’s existed for thousands of years, though it was recreated just over 70 years ago,” Cruz replied, “Yes, but most people understand that line in Genesis to refer to the Jewish people, God’s chosen people.”
“You’re saying as a Christian, if I believe in Jesus, I have to support the modern state of Israel?” Carlson asked. “No, I’m explaining my personal motivation,” said Cruz. “Not everyone I represent is a Christian, so I don’t use my faith as the reason we should support Israel."
