Huckabee: God Gave Israel Right to Most of Middle East

Monday, February 23, 2026

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.

Well, whether there is a Creator God or not, as people like neuroscientist Andrew Huberman and many others now think that there is...

... Huckabee and most other of these MAGA white nationalist faux Christians are just flat wrong about Christian theology.

Even a knowledgeable Jew will tell you that after the Messiah has come, all the lands are Holy, not just Israel.

They just happened to miss the part where he was already here.

And the aforementioned fake Christisns are the ones who, according to scripture, fall away from the Church and towards the Antichrist... as we have seen with Trump, which is one of the dozens of ways which describe that person.

You get the idea that a Sunni NATO is coming. Already Turkey and Egypt are cozying up to one another. Algeria, Syria and many of the eastern African and gulf states will soon jump aboard. Eventually, Morocco and the UAE will flip. Jordan will be the last.

Cuckabibi loves to let Israel screw the country the cuck is supposed to be putting first.
