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.

    In their defense, it’s very expected that some people can be so stupid as to think Trump was not going to be worse for Gaza. And Ukraine. And Europe. And US. But I guess you are.

    That’s why they can you “useful idiot”

    Edit: to be clear, I don’t mean “you” in particular, but those like you in general.

      But I guess you are.

      It’s obvious that you’re calling me stupid and an idiot. You assign behaviors that you think apply to me and then say that those behaviors make one a useful idiot. I know you’re just trying to skirt rule 5, but this has got to be one of the most pathetic attempts I’ve seen.

        Why am I skirting any rule? Those like you include you. I’ve even said explicitly on your quote.

        You were fooled and you’re trying to defend it as some form of moral superiority. You don’t care about Gaza, you care more about not admitting you were wrong.

        Go ahead and report me, just be careful to not fall from your high horse.

            Which app are you using? The official one only let’s you report one person at a time, I don’t see “all those not fooled by fascist in general” as an option.

              Oh you have to get the other app, the one that lets you invent functionality as you go. Ineffective, but liberating
