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.
“Not actively pressuring” is far different from “actively encouraging”.
If you listen to the edgy teenagers you’d think Biden was out there pulling the trigger himself and that absolutely was not the case.
But then they’re of the co-hort that anything bad that happens is automatically the fault of the US.
Why do the Democrats fight for Israel? Same reason the Republicans do… MONEY. It’s all about money, always has been.

Yeah he was just cool handing out the gun and watching from the side lines when it was used.
You can’t seriously still be arguing Biden was doing anything to stop the genocide? Every president before him stopped Israel with a call and Biden just let it happen
I agree Biden could have done more, but that doesn’t make him responsible. At worst he was a doddering old man whose views on Israel were formed before any of us were born and never updated for the shit they’ve been pulling since the 90s.
You have to understand, for folks of Biden’s generation, Israel is the victim. They’ve never heard of things like “Punitive Demolition”:

Or are aware that while doing that, Israel actually killed an American:

His actions and support absolutely makes him responsible. He saw what was happening and gave Israel unwavering support.

Hell he was even doing it as Obamas VP

Republicans were better at stopping conflicts than Biden…

In line with my above comment:
“At worst he was a doddering old man whose views on Israel were formed before any of us were born and never updated for the shit they’ve been pulling since the 90s.”
the truth is, there is no “lesser evil.” And as we argue over this and obsess over the differences between administrations that share the same genocidal goals but employ different tactics, the pile of Palestinian and Lebanese bodies only grows
How does saying oh it’s okay that he let all those people die, he was just old and still wanted to be the one in charge absolve him of anything?
Why do you try so hard to protect his image?
He didn’t “let” anything. Bibi flat out wasn’t listening to anyone, Biden was not special in that regard.
The only way you’re going to stop the genocide in Gaza is to invade Israel and make them stop. Nobody has the balls to do it.
Since day one, the Biden administration has upheld Trump’s most controversial moves: keeping the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, failing to reopen the PLO mission in Washington, and desperately seeking normalization agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbors that erase Palestinians entirely. While Biden restored funding to UNRWA, his administration promptly cut it again under pressure from an Israeli smear campaign.
You see how that’s worse right? Biden gave unconditional support and assistance to someone actively working against him and ignoring him.
Or was he just too senial to know he was getting taken advantage of while being president and actively campaigning?
Oh, it’s definitely worse. Biden was absolutely blind to what Bibi was doing to him.
You can stop giving them weapons, you can actually try something. If you think us cannot tell Israel what to do then you are blind
