The Washington Free Beacon: Cruz: Time to Drop the ‘Illusion’ That Latest Terror Attacks Are ‘Random Acts’
Recent terror attacks in Jerusalem and Canada are not isolated events, and American policy leaders must drop "the illusion that these are random acts of senseless violence unrelated to our national security," Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) said.
Whether the Islamic State or Hamas is behind the attacks, the extremist ideology remains the same-and it poses a direct threat to democratic values across the globe, Cruz said in pointed comments to those who might claim the attacks were unrelated.
Following the Hamas terror attack Wednesday in Jerusalem-which injured several American citizens, including a child-both Hamas and the more moderate Fatah ruling party praised the terrorist responsible for the attack.
The same day, IS supporters worldwide took to Twitter to celebrate the fatal shooting of a Canadian soldier by a radicalized man that attacked the country's Parliament building.
