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.

Oh boy you rustled some jimmies. Idk that I've seen a single comment where every response was down voted for being shitty takes.

I'm sure all of those third party and non voters are jerking off all over themselves for saving Palestine and ending the genocide through Donald Trump.

Hey, at least they've got their pedestals to look down on us from.

Oh boy you rustled some jimmies.

That might be an understatement lol.
I'm still getting comments, threats, and suggestions to commit suicide on this post, and other comments and posts I've made going back at least a year.

They're so mad they're been browsing my comment history to find more things to get pissed off about lol.
I love pissing off fascists and all the attention let's me know I'm on the right track.

I think for everyone who can not, for one reason or another, go out in the streets and shout "what the fuck are we doing?", the next best, most morally correct thing to do is to piss fascists off and waste their time.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Same. I've had cancer wished on me, suicide, and a few other things. Like you said, it's solidly let me know the kind of people that I'm criticizing.

Someone lost a friend in Lebanon, and that's sad. I'm sure if they were still here, they'd be stoked that their friend effectively supported Donald Trump to help out though.

I doubt that anyone ever claimed Trump would end the genocide on Palestinians from outside a troll farm in St. Petersburg.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Plenty of people in Michigan did.

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

I meant people who aren't right-wing idiots cheering on the fascist takeover. Thought that was clear from context, my bad.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

People on this very site did, absolutely, and some of them were definitely Americans

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Some of them I'm sure thought it, but definitely a minority. It's the fact that Gaza was used as a means to target Harris, and against all evidence suggesting it would be the same or worse, didn't do the same to condemn Trump.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Or she could’ve just not had a genocidal platform. That would have made things much easier.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You're right, it would have, but the reality was Trump or Harris. It was still an extremely easy decision, but it would have been better if the less shitty candidate was even less shitty.

If Democrats can't handle the lowest bar in thr world, that of being against genocide, then the party doesn't deserve to exist full stop. We need a new party, the Dems won't save us from the next Trump either.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Cool, but that doesn't happen in the general election. The seems aren't good, but had 3rd party and non voters voted for Harris, then yes, the Democratic party would have saved us from Trump. Realistically, it's the people saving us from Trump via the Democratic party, but at the end of the day, we got Trump because those same individuals decided a Trump presidency was the better outcome. Full stop.
