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.

    Can you expand your “Maybe” answer to my assertion that this is a human problem not just a western problem?

    If it isn’t a human problem, what is it?

      Relax Jesus Christ, I made a parallel, you took it as absolute truth and challenged that it should apply to all humanity. That wasn’t my point, it’s yours, so I’m not trying to make it for you. Thanks

            Ohhh a double good day! I must have hit a nerve. Buddy, if you are racist, you should consider not being racist, it makes people dumb.

              Your complete inability to form thoughts just elicits pity. How you managed to twist your half-formed brain flatulence into me being racist is your burden to carry, not mine.
