Mike Huckabee blunders his way through Israel press conference

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/aug/19/mike-huckabee-blunders-his-way-through-israel-press-conference

At times taking positions to the right of Israel’s government, the former governor of Arkansas at one stage described Russia as the “Soviet Union” – when referring to its plans to supply Iran with S-300 anti-aircraft missiles – before correcting himself.

He also seemed to suggest that the West Bank bordered one of Israel’s enemies, as opposed to Jordan, which has long enjoyed a peace treaty with Israel.

As Huckabee left the press conference, he also said he was unsure if he would be the first US president to abandon a commitment to a two-state solution, despite having no policy he could articulate on the future of Palestinians.

The press conference followed meetings with senior Israeli figures, including prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu, and followed his visit to the settlement of Shilo on the occupied West Bank where he held a private fundraiser with wealthy American settlers.


No American should be allowed to participate in Israel's illegal colonies. If they are then they should forfeit their US citizenship. Period.

Palestinian lives matter!

BDS.

He is not a politician since he holds no office. And he is a total loser who is only running so that he can con money from the evangelical crowd.

It is sorry that America attracts the most dishonest of scum to run for it's political offices.
