Arab states have reacted with fury after U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee suggested Israel has a biblical right to take over large swaths of the Middle East. "It would be fine if they took it all, but I don't think that's what we're talking about here today," Huckabee told podcaster Tucker Carlson during an interview posted on YouTube on Friday, as the two discussed his Christian Zionist beliefs and interpretations of the Old Testament regarding land promised to Abraham's descendants, stretching across multiple modern-day countries
Huckabee added that this was not on the table, as "they're not asking to take all that." Asked if it would be fine for Israel to take over countries including Syria and Lebanon, he replied: "That's really not exactly what I'm trying to say."
His comments drew swift condemnation from across the region.
Hi Doc Sarvis:
I finished reading Virginia Roberts Giuffre's book Nobody's Girl; hope you can borrow it from your library.
That book should have taken me two to three days to read, but I had to put it down after every chapter, so it took me almost ten days.
That poor girl never had a chance in life.
BTW: Republican Mike Huckabee may not be alone in his Bronze Age campfire sentiments about Israeli expansion.
This is a bipartisan Congressional junket to Israel circa 2019: www.youtube.com
