Cruz: UN has descended to a new anti-Semitic low

US Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on Friday blasted the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights following the publication of its database listing companies operating in Judea and Samaria.

“The United Nations has descended to a new anti-Semitic low. This database of companies operating in Israeli-controlled territories is meant to facilitate boycotts of Israeli Jews. It extends a tactic for attacking the livelihood of Jews that stretches back centuries, which has included boycotts, the physical destruction or confiscation of businesses, prohibitions on land ownership, and closing off certain professions. It is straightforward, undisguised, pathological hatred,” Cruz said in a statement.
