Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz remains unbowed in his support for Israel despite nearly two dozen anti-Israel protests staged outside the Houston-area home he shares with his wife and their two children, Fox News Digital has learned.
Protesters have gathered to shout slogans outside Cruz's home since February as outcry surrounding Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel mounted. The demonstrations came in response to Cruz's staunch support of Israel during the war and as the Texas senator railed against "cultural Marxism" promoted in the classrooms of the nation's elite universities.
"It doesn’t matter how long this anti-Israel, pro-terrorist harassment continues. Sen. Ted Cruz will continue to fight antisemitism and stand for Texas values. He’s proud to stand with Israel as the country fights to utterly eradicate Hamas for as long as it takes," a Cruz spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
The latest incident came Friday evening, when anti-Israel protesters gathered outside Cruz’s Texas home for the 23rd time since Feb. 10.
Photos and video show about a dozen protesters outside Cruz’s home Friday chanting and clapping while holding signs such as "Cease Fire Now," "No rest for the wicked, Ted" and "Israel bombs playgrounds." The protesters were also seen ringing bells as they chanted and wore masks.
Cruz posted to X about the agitators Friday evening, saying they have shown up to his home most weekends this year and "scream, disturb the peace & wake the neighbors."
