Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed Black Lives Matter for its “embrace and support” of Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist group, and every entity that supported the far-Left group over the last several years.
Cruz made the remarks during an episode of his “Verdict” podcast after Hamas launched unprecedented terror attacks in Israel last week that killed over 1,400 Israelis.
“Our elite universities are venomous pits of anti-Semitism and hatred for Israel. And we’re seeing that arise all across the country,” Cruz said. “Every university president, every college professor, every Fortune 500 corporation that wrote a check to Black Lives Matter, all of them who embrace these radical Marxist revolutionaries they need to be asked, every one of them, do you support this anti-semitic, anti-Israel hatred?”
“Black Lives Matter supports Hamas. Black Lives Matter is Hamas. And I want you to understand this, and we’re going to lay out the facts and details on this carefully,” he said. ‘They want the destruction of Israel, their co-founder said her objective is to end the imperialist project that is Israel, and they openly embrace and support the Hamas terrorists.”
Cruz noted that Black Lives Matter activists have admitted to being trained Marxists and that they have a history of making anti-Semitic remarks about Israel, including making claims that Israel is “complicit in the genocide taking place against the Palestinian people.”
“I want you to hear those words. ‘End the imperialist project that is called Israel’,” Cruz said in highlighting remarks from BLM. “That’s Black Lives Matter. That’s what Black Lives Matter calls for. And mind you, not help the Palestinian people, not have a two-state solution. End Israel.”

Cruz then highlighted various companies and top executives that donated to Black Lives Matter, adding: “These morons are literally funding organizations that are calling for boycotts of their companies.”
