Former Arkansas governor and Fox News host Mike Huckabee is in Israel once again. Arutz Sheva met him on Monday. His visit comes a little over a year after his last visit to the Jewish State, during which he said that if he were president of the United States he would move the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Huckabee considered running for the Republican party’s presidential ticket, but ultimately decided not to run. Huckabee told Arutz Sheva that he will soon bring a group of 175 Americans to visit Israel, something which he does at least once a year. “I want people to see Israel firsthand,” he said. “Most Americans simply cannot appreciate how small, geographically, Israel is, how vulnerable it is, and how much it means to have the American support so it can maintain its integrity.” He added, “The United States and Israel mirror each other in so many ways, so I want people to see Israel for all the magnificent history but I also want them to see it for all of the importance that it holds in contemporary world politics.” Addressing the race for the Republican presidential nominee, Huckabee said that it is very clear that “no one is going to win the Republican nomination without a strong, very solid commitment to not only the security of Israel, but to standing with Israel against any type of threat.” He admitted that he does not understand why most American Jews decide to vote for the Democratic party, adding that he certainly does not understand why they would vote for President Barack Obama in November’s elections. “Here’s a president who has probably done more to unsettle Israel’s place in the Middle East than any president in my lifetime,” said Huckabee, adding, “I do think that there have been indications that maybe some American Jewish interests are finally beginning to realize that he is not their best friend, and I hope that’s the case, because why they would continue to support him financially and support him politically is frankly beyond me.” Regarding a possible military strike by Israel against Iran, a strike that Israel may not coordinate with the United States, Huckabee said, “Israel has to act according to its survival.” He said that he believes “the average American, and overwhelmingly the American people” will support Israel in doing whatever it has to do to protect itself from Iran, even if the president does not agree with it.

Looks much like a traitor, colluding with a foreign country against the interests of the US.
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET
Huckabee is training in Israel to become a suicide bomber against Iran. Oy vey!
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
I respect everyone's right to hold whatever religious beliefs they have, no matter how much I disagree with them. The government MUST stay out of everyone's religious beliefs. PERIOD. The United States of American cannot have a foreign policy based upon a narrow interpretation of some religion -- in this case the dispensationalist's view that America collectively needs to kiss the Likud Party's ass to go to heaven. The traditional Christian view is that Jews as a people stopped being God's chosen people when they rejected Christ. The true chosen people today are those who accept Christ, regardless of the nationality or ethnic origin. Even true Christianity should not drive U.S. foreign policy. U.S. foreign policy has to be driven by U.S. interests in this world, as it is today.
AIPAC and the GOP today...;} " On January 17, 1961, President Eisenhower bid farewell to the nation in a speech that is best remembered for his characterization of the "Military-Industrial Complex," and his warning of dire consequences to our personal freedoms and self-government should its power go unchecked. January 20, 1961, Dwight D. Eisenhower left office for a much-anticipated retirement..." If Eisenhower was a candidate today, the Zionists would be desperate to assassinate him....;}
Want to lose your job in 5 minutes? Mention Zionism during 'Election' debates....;} This election has turned into a faux-religious debate. Zionism is barely mentioned and certainly not covered by our own media owners who are going to DC next week to conspire about how to turn this coming election in favor of Israel’s goals, not American goals.
The GOP is being torn asunder by religious fanatics who hate each other’s forms of Christianity. The only thing these right wingers agree on is civil rights: they are against this. They don’t want it for children, women or despised racial or ethnic or religious groups.
Want to see The Huckster go apoplectic? Say this to his face: " The killer of ‘marriage’ isn’t gays who long for this, it is the offshoring of jobs, the repression of unions and the collapse of the finances of the lower half of the population. They can’t get married, they can’t afford it.
oh give me a break, the jews were all in for bam the last election and they'll do the same this election. the repubs has more chance getting the black vote then them
