Mike Huckabee, Trump's pick for Israel ambassador, tries to distance himself from past Palestinian rhetoric

No need to distance yourself, Huck: the new MAGA party is in favor of Palestinian genocide.

Another crackpot in the Trump admin.

“I am not here to articulate or defend my own views or policies, but to present myself as one who will respect and represent the president whose overwhelming election by the people

In Trumpworld, 49.8% versus 48.3%, is "overwhelming". You can just feel how these dudes are used to... inflate numbers.

He said what he said, nothing to see here, move on, are the left THAT desperate that they have to look under stones for past statements that mean absolutely nothing? Libs just seriously hope not to get re-elected again I guess.

His statements represent his political beliefs and ideology, are you seriously saying we shouldn't be scrutinizing politicians for their politics?

When asked about Trump's plan, Huckabee denied that the president ever said he would “force displacement" of Palestinians from Gaza “unless it is for their safety” and says Palestinians could be incentivized to leave.

Yes, and that raises the question, Go where?

When only two parties can run Presidential candidates nationally, and the 'progressive' position is 'Apartheid OK, genocide OK, occupation and directly forced population displacement too much' and the 'unprogressive' position is Apartheid OK, genocide OK, occupation and directly forced population displacement OK' you see why so many Americans refused to vote for either, and why people around the world laugh when the US proclaims the elected President of some other country is a 'dictator' because the narrow bit of the political spectrum the US government wants to rule it that country isn't popular amongst the population, and does poorer than the more mainstream parties that it dismisses as 'not opposition parties'.

Huckabee's religious beliefs scare me much more than anything else.

They make him un-electable to most Americans, so he needs a govt job to earn money. DOGE needs to cut him before he gets placed anywhere.

Huck is an "evangelical Christian " eh ?

Waiting for the coming rapture in Israel maybe.

Jews dont accept Christ or Christians if one digs deep enough.

Worshipping Christ is a form of idolatry to many Jews.

Certainly they dont accept any divinity attached to Christ.

Why send an evangelical to a country that rejects this religion called Christianity ?

Mike is a Moron...just like all the fake religious hucksters that bankrupt and play their flocks for fools...

That he's thrown in with the MAGA-crowd is not surprising, as they've been fleecing their flock and playing them for suckers for eight years...

Palestine has been is a Crying Bleeding Victim that is up for Grab.

Once Peaceful and Beautiful Palestine now Knocked Down and Vulnerable in the sights of so many vicious colonial Vultures.

May PEACE prevail over Lovely Palestine

Utterly pathetic..
