In these viral clips, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee’s pro-Israel positions are on display.
Over the years, the evangelical preacher and former Arkansas governor has endorsed the ongoing Israel’s ongoing illegal expansion and occupation of Palestinian lands. Huckabee has also rejected the two-state solution while supporting Israel’s plan to annex the West Bank. The 69-year-old Republican Party member has advocated for the relocation of Palestinians from their indigenous lands, saying enough land is available elsewhere to re-settle them. In fact, members of the Zi*nist movement—with Zi*nism being a political ideology that uses Judaism for imperialist purposes—had considered establishing Israel in East Africa before shifting their attention to Palestine.
It seems Trump, who branded himself an anti-war candidate, may expand on President Joe Biden’s catastrophic West Asia policy that has enabled Israel to k*ll at least 186,000 in Gaza as of early July, according to the Lancet medical journal, and more than 3,500 in Lebanon.
Have a watch, and please share your thoughts.
