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.

    Western Europeans (Americans are displaced Europeans just like apartheid South Africans and genocidal Israelis), for being such a small group of people in an even smaller land, have managed to cruelly oppress the world since at least the days of Jesus til this day. The consistency (the Romans, the Crusades, Francisco Pizarro and Hernan Cortez, King Leopold’s Congo, the Dutch East India Company, the native Australian genocide by the Brits, every American conflict including proxy wars, etc.) is, at the very least, curious. Has chattle slavery even been a thing outside of the Western world?! The most destructive conflicts in recent history were just Western Europeans Vs Western Europeans with displaced Europeans joining in later and some extras! Believe what you wanna believe (“we’re just better at it!”, yeah because you’re consistently heartless at times, lol), but if I were you, I’d take the history of my people a little more seriously and consider the suffering of others due to my ancestors’ crimes, idk.
