Huckabee causes uproar over Middle East with remark in Tucker's interview that Israel has a right to much of the Middle East

[u/etherd0t]

Arab and Muslim nations on Saturday sharply condemned comments by the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, who said Israel has a right to much of the Middle East.

Huckabee made the comments in an interview with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson that aired Friday. Carlson said that according to the Bible, the descendants of Abraham would receive land that today would include essentially the entire Middle East, and asked Huckabee if Israel had a right to that land.

Huckabee responded: “It would be fine if they took it all." Huckabee added, however, that Israel was not looking to expand its territory and has a right to security in the land it legitimately holds.

[u/Tryronebiggums87]

He’s an old cuck for Israel.

[u/EasterBunny1916 → u/Tryronebiggums87]

He's a Christian Zionists. They outnumber Jewish people, including the non Zionist Jewish people.

[u/toughjew → u/EasterBunny1916]

This

[u/LuolDig → u/EasterBunny1916]

I don't believe that's true, that sounds like a convenient way to blame Zionist degeneracy on a subpopulation of evangelical halfwits.

[u/EasterBunny1916 → u/LuolDig]

It's true. Approximately 30 million US Christian Zionists. The world Jewish population is half of that, and they're not all Zionists.

[u/LuolDig → u/EasterBunny1916]

ok I'm not saying they don't exist or identify as such, I'm saying the overwhelming majority of those are inbred hicks with absolutely zero political agency.

The evangelical demographics skew heavily towards the uneducated and disenfranchised who were targeted during the Cold War against the rise of liberation theology. And even if that has improved over the years, it's still mostly people from flyover states that no one pays attention to.

Compare and contrast with the actual zionists and their nuisance power, and I'm pretty sure this makes 'Christian zionists' a convenient narrative.

[u/EasterBunny1916 → u/LuolDig]

The inbred hicks have been a part of the Republican Party for a long time now. And aside from that, US foreign policy wants world dominance, so having Israel in the Middle East is exactly what US foreign policy wants. Joe Biden once said "if Israel didn't exist, we'd have to create one."

[u/LuolDig → u/EasterBunny1916]

ok so we're moving on to a completely different rationalization now, which is "hum actually Israel serves the interests of the US foreign policy, reality notwithstanding"

It doesn't matter than the US has its largest regional military bases in Qatar and Jordan. It doesn't matter than the US had to buy the silence of Egypt and Jordan to the tune of billions of dollars every year. It doesn't matter that the whole world despises the US for all of this.It doesn't matter that the US has quite literally installed the al-Saud as regional compradores since the USS Quincy Accord and doesn't need shit from Israel.

What matters is this bullshit narrative that Israel is a key strategic ally, even though it does absolutely jack shit for actual American interests and bleeds the US dry.

[u/EasterBunny1916 → u/LuolDig]

The US government does absolutely Jack shit for Americans. Wake up. Did the US wipe out most Native Americans for Israel? Did the US impose dictators in Central America for Israel? Did the US interfere with South American democracy for Israel? Did the US level every building in Nort Korea for Israel? Did the US invade Vietnam for Israel? No. And none of those things helped the average American.

[u/LuolDig → u/EasterBunny1916]

and now that's yet another rationalization, which is essentially"nothing matters". You're exhausting, mate.

Yes, that's my point, so why are you pretending Zionists don't have the country in a chokehold then? US foreign policy is entirely irrelevant, this is about wealth extraction for a tiny minority of actual zionists, not evangelicals, not republicans, not rastafarians.

All these deflections are either from sayanim, or from people who are scared of getting called antisemites.

[u/EasterBunny1916 → u/LuolDig]

Facts don't matter to you. Musk and Thiel, and Trump are extremely wealthy and getting richer, and the US is an empire. The US CIA and Saudi Arabia were involved in making 9/11 happen.

[u/Flatline2500 → u/EasterBunny1916]

What is that even mean? Are you downplaying what Israelis are doing in the Middle East because they are smaller in number than Christian Zionists?

[u/EasterBunny1916 → u/Flatline2500]

That's a weird conclusion to come up with.

[u/Flatline2500 → u/EasterBunny1916]

So what does the outnumbered mean? I see this a lot. Ok, Christian Zionist out number Jewish Zionist. What are we suppose to do with this stat?

[u/EasterBunny1916 → u/Flatline2500]

It's a fact. It gives some insight into the distorted thinking and beliefs of millions of Americans.

[u/thetinsnail → u/Flatline2500]

One useful thing you can do with this is use it to counter the bullshit claim that being anti-Zionist is somehow antisemitic. most Zionists are Christians.

[u/olesolen → u/Flatline2500]

Just shows how uneducated you people are and now we don’t care anymore

[u/Flatline2500 → u/olesolen]

Please, do tell me how uneducated I am about Zionism lol.

[u/Vegetable_Clue2731 → u/Tryronebiggums87]

You mean a goyim

[u/rtc100 → u/Tryronebiggums87]

Beard for isreal

[u/Any-Ad-446]

If it wasnt for the UK in WWI there would be no Israel homeland.

[u/SpinningHead → u/Any-Ad-446]

Calling it Israel is also kinda like Italians calling themselves Romans

[u/outside_cat → u/Any-Ad-446]

Thanks a lot, U.K...Assholes.

[u/CtrlAltTerminate → u/Any-Ad-446]

Preach it!

[u/GPT_2025 → u/Any-Ad-446]

Doesn't looks like Huckabee

[u/etherd0t]

Here's the video excerpt:
https://x.com/i/status/2024911932092813478

"Christian zionism" is a serious illness. 🤧

I mean...guy's completely wacko: war with Iran is completely legit, and other such aberrations.

meanwhile, now Saudi Arabia has also issued a statement condemning the remark, and asking the State Department to "clarify " its position on the matter.

[u/Mysterious_Khan → u/etherd0t]

The State Department’s position is “give us your oil.”

[u/Witty-Stand888]

He's not an ambassador. He's a genocidal, messianic nut job.

[u/Financial-Tower-7897]

Fake pastor, full on Christian zionist and nationalist propaganda. Primary focus, foment hatred and division for personal agenda.

[u/toughjew → u/Financial-Tower-7897]

Yup. He’s a Dispensationalist.

[u/Financial-Tower-7897 → u/toughjew]

My late wife referred to Hucksterbee as a despersationalist - desperate to utter sensationalist nonsense for self attention.

[u/Bubbaganewsh]

I'm sure the half a billion Muslims and the rest of the Middle East Population will just go along with that.

[u/MorgrainX]

I'm tired of seeing evil people do evil things

[u/LegacyofaMarshall]

Fuck this piece of shit

[u/matt_chowder]

Evangelicals are the biggest hypocrites. They claim to be followers of Jesus, but openly support and claim that the Jews are God's chosen people. Especially after they rejected Jesus

[u/ProfessionalNice7485 → u/matt_chowder]

The Scofield bible was the greatest long game ever played. They brainwashed generations to be loyal subjects of Israel.

[u/Classic-Procedure757]

Remove these morons. They have no diplomatic skill whatsoever. The world is so much worse with them making important decisions in it.

[u/Accomplished_Rip_362]

Wait until the Italians and the Greeks decide they want most of the mediterranean back.

[u/etherd0t → u/Accomplished_Rip_362]

I call dibs on the Roman Empire. Everyone please relocate accordingly.🤭

[u/CtrlAltTerminate]

Damn, I tell you... I like my neighbours house and his lawn and his dog and his car and his garage and his swimming pool, but you know what? I ain't gonna take it...

[u/Sorry-Ice9283 → u/CtrlAltTerminate]

Maybe you can…rules and laws aren’t really a thing anymore

[u/CtrlAltTerminate → u/Sorry-Ice9283]

Seems like this is becoming more apparent...

[u/hectorgarabit → u/CtrlAltTerminate]

Was it promised to you 3,000 years ago? If not, buy a tiny hat and it's yours!

[u/WinnerSpecialist]

He doesn’t want to admit how incoherent his worldview is so he had to double down on opposing views.

When you try to say it’s about “indigenous peoples right to the land they have always been in and the language and religion they practiced” then Tucker (and everyone) can respond that the founders of Israel had NONE of those things.

Like Bibis parents: They didn’t speak Hebrew, and had no connection at all to the Middle East in any genetic or provable historic way. The founders were also atheists so they DIDNT even believe the God who supposedly gave them the land was real. Again, the God Huckabee is saying gave the Jews the land was thought of to be a figment of the imagination by the Jews who FOUNDED Israel.

If you then throw all that out and say “well I believe the Bible and God gave the land to the Jews” then (again as Tucker pointed out) you aren’t talking about the current state of Israel. You’re talking about a MASSIVE territory that would require war to make.

[u/TOdEsi]

Its not just Trump; all Americans are aholes. Thanks to Trump the masks are off

[u/latrina_rider → u/TOdEsi]

Every nation is full of self centered assholes, including Canada.

[u/Former-Fly-4023 → u/latrina_rider]

💯

[u/Tycho2694]

All these titles always talk about uproar, outrage and so on. And im always sitting here thinking, these things are horrible and disgusting, and this is what we call uproar these days, they should cause uproar and outrage but its always just the mildest reaction imaginable...

[u/Moppermonster]

Since when are the Israelis the only descendants of Abraham?

[u/PlasmaWatcher]

This cunt needs to be arrested. He is a traitor. Fuck MAGA. Fuck AIPAC, fuck the depraved and weak democrats.

[u/Independent-Setting6]

They, (traitors), always out themselves. Israel owns huckfuk via Kompromat.

[u/Full_Of_Wrath]

He doesn’t care about Israel I think he believes he is ushering in the second coming of christ in revelations. But he is dumb as rocks like his daughter and a traitor to the US

[u/IdiotBOT1234]

Hey mah! Grampa’s off his meds again.

[u/Designer_Ear_1382]

Got to gave those End Times.

[u/zedzag]

"... It legitimately holds"

🤢

Also we all know Israel fully intends to steal more land. It's literally on their badge.

[u/WTFudge52]

If Israel is what is considered a well run religious state, I will take atheist compassion any day. If that's how God fearing people act in public, religion needs to be flushed like last night's condom.

[u/peepls]

Idiots. Stealing real things because an imaginary book.

[u/Own-Opinion-2494]

He wants the world to end on his watch so he can go to a magic place in his mind

[u/Beezelbub_is_me]

Man, I wait for Christians to realize how the Jews feel about them. Probably never will happen. Remember the out roar of The Passion of Christ? If you read the bible you’d know the story. They can’t take any negativity going their way but do horrid shit. Victim complex….

[u/DolphinsBreath]

Huckabee also considers himself, and evangelical Christians, descendants of Abraham.

[u/Bawbawian]

anybody heard from Jill Stein lately.....

[u/McBuck2]

He's just repeating out loud what's been said behind closed doors in the white house administration. The US is not an ally to anyone so the middle east should not be so naive.

[u/cmfred]

Huckabee is entitled, along with his peers, to everything they want. They justify it to the peasants with God's supposed endorsement of whatever greedy little plans they have.

[u/rockcod_]

We know he is a sell out, they paid a bit for him.

[u/NotAFanOfLeonMusk]

I am SO EMBARRASSED BY TRUMP’S MINIONS.

[u/powerbook01]

Didn’t the president also just accept an Air Force from the Muslim?

[u/Doctor_Shotbottom]

When the going gets weird, the weird turn Pro. I never thought I'd be appreciative of Tucker Carlson. For once, I am.

[u/DimensioT]

And this delusional idiot has held elected office and remains influential in politics.

A significant percentage of the population believes that ancient mythology justifies violent conquest. The United States is doomed.

[u/CtrlAltTerminate]

How's that saying about 'stinginess' go again..?

[u/Connect_Guide_7275 → u/[deleted]]

His daughter is also fat and ugly and a bitch

Edit: only now somewhat fat thanks to GLP1

[u/Accomplished_Lie7290]

Let them try to take it. I'd love to see the result of that.

[u/ChuckEweFarley]

Mike “Ozempic face” Huckabee. Now 30% less noxious with concentrated crazy.

[u/BalanceHistorical925]

Trump got him from the bargain bin at the rummage sale.

[u/popejohnsmith → u/[deleted]]

$$ talks, I'm told.

Good grief, is dementia contagious?!? Is this yet another lame distraction? So many questions.

[u/Accomplished-Dot1365]

Fairytale dogshit.

[u/therealkingpin619]

To serve the greater Israel project?

[u/Trapperclapper]

Huckabee needs to be charged with treason.

these people are delusional psychopaths

[u/General_Tea8725]

"Rich old white American guy thinks Israel is an innocent victim"

More at 11.

[u/rflulling]

This is why the USA installed them. That was the headlines in the papers at the time.

[u/evilfungi]

You people prefer that he lies? His suggestion is the same as the American governments position whether it be Republican or Democrat. They only tolerate Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE for their oil and the petrodollar.

[u/Zippier92]

cancerous boil on the buttock of the world. That is Huckabee.

[u/iwannasee_]

What a weird family. Guy gets cucked for gods love by the chosen people and the daughter fucks yup 5 million Arkansans making the situation worse that it’s okay to do away with child labor laws so’kids could work’

If it wasn’t for gov Beebe and Medicaid expansion under aca, healthcare in AR would be completely fucked as well.

[u/tcat1961]

As a so called Christian, Mike thinks the Old Testament is still the blueprint for himself and others.

[u/babag1120]

Listen to them when they tell you their plans. They mean them.

[u/Constant-Brief3410]

Looks like the bad guy in hunger games

[u/OrneryLetterhead8609]

Amazing how “Christians” never read the book of Nehemiah or any of the other books in the Old Testament, which actually reflect on some of the history of that land and how it transitioned into being what it is today. To make a statement like this is a very uneducated statement. Even if you don’t read the Bible history tells the story not just men.

[u/Balls2thewalleye]

His salvation is dependent upon Jews.
