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.

    Great, now you got the genocide still going AND a fascist takeover of your country, with even less possibility to change anything and plenty of distractions to the Palestinians cause because your country is falling apart around you.

      Genocide Joe walked so Fascist Donald could run.

      Fascism didn’t start in January. It’s been a steady, forty-year march aided and abetted by every president since Carter.

        I generally agree with your premise up until the point where you argue for accelerating the rise of fascism.

        NOTHING has been gained by this, NOTHING changed for the better, it only got harder to bring about change. The people who could’ve mobilized and fought for those causes are now busy trying to stop the gestapo from deporting their neighbors.

          argue for accelerating the rise of fascism.

          Either you’re putting up a straw man or you didn’t read what I wrote correctly.

            He correctly understood the context in which you wrote it, which was defending fascist-accelerationist non-voters and third-party voters.
