Mike Huckabee suggested any future Palestinian state should be carved out of ‘a Muslim country’

Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, has said that the US is no longer pursuing the goal of an independent Palestinian state, marking what analysts describe as the most explicit abandonment yet of a cornerstone of US Middle East diplomacy.

Asked during an interview with Bloomberg News if a Palestinian state remains a goal of US policy, he replied: “I don’t think so.”

The former Arkansas governor chosen by Donald Trump as his envoy to Israel went further by suggesting that any future Palestinian entity could be carved out of “a Muslim country” rather than requiring Israel to cede territory.

    Oh boy you rustled some jimmies.

    That might be an understatement lol.
    I’m still getting comments, threats, and suggestions to commit suicide on this post, and other comments and posts I’ve made going back at least a year.

    They’re so mad they’re been browsing my comment history to find more things to get pissed off about lol.
    I love pissing off fascists and all the attention let’s me know I’m on the right track.

      Same. I’ve had cancer wished on me, suicide, and a few other things. Like you said, it’s solidly let me know the kind of people that I’m criticizing.

      Someone lost a friend in Lebanon, and that’s sad. I’m sure if they were still here, they’d be stoked that their friend effectively supported Donald Trump to help out though.

      I think for everyone who can not, for one reason or another, go out in the streets and shout “what the fuck are we doing?”, the next best, most morally correct thing to do is to piss fascists off and waste their time.

      I know it’s hard for American to even concieve foreigners as human but put yourself in the shoes of somebody who actually know people in Palestine.

      You think exposing them to your domestic political gotcha, your guillibility and cowardice you’re showing by telling the forme the genocide isn’t a deal breaker isn’t gonna draw contempt and hate?

      You voted for the guy who send bombs to kill my friend. You deserve the hate.

      If people like you weren’t genocidal cowards, the dems voters would have warned them about the electoral implication of bombing civilians
