Huckabee slams Obama in pro-settlement Israel visit
By Cliff Churgin, McClatchy Newspapers 1 hr 24 mins ago

JERUSALEM — Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee slammed President Barack Obama's policies toward Israel on Monday in a visit here that underscored the tensions between the Obama administration and the Israeli government over Jewish settlements in what traditionally have been Palestinian areas.

Huckabee criticized the Obama administration's calls for ending such settlements and said Obama's position had only encouraged the Palestinian government not to negotiate with Israel .

More important than Huckabee's words, however, was where he chose to deliver them: at several controversial Jewish enclaves in the mostly Arab neighborhoods of East Jerusalem , which both Israel and the Palestinian Authority claim.

"The policies are a drastic change from previous administrations," Huckabee said at Maale Zeitim, a 100-unit housing project at the foot of the Mount of Olives. "Halting peace talks until 20 families are moved out? Our focus should be on Iran , and not on where 20 Jewish families are moving."

Orly Taitz: Obama policies are 'clear and present danger to Israel'

By Benjamin L. Hartman, Haaretz Correspondent, and The Associated Press

She believes Obama poses a threat to Israel not only because of his support of radical Islamic groups such as Hamas, but also because of his "radical socialist" policies, that will bring the United States to "totalitarianism and Stalinism." According to Taitz, these policies "pose a threat to all democracies, not only Israel."

So now we got Huckabee looking for Jesus' Second Coming Landing Zone, together with the birther queen, in Israel at the same time. Perhaps Israel will keep them both for good!

He is not only an imbecile, he's a fucking nutcase.

we would be locked up for being traitors....

He should be intensely criticized for this.

damn end timers.

Anyone who did that during the Cold War was shunned and basically could kiss their political viability goodbye.

Isn't that what Republicans and the MSM would have said if a Democrat did that to *?

Huckabee is a clown and a half. With Mittens, Caribou Barbie and the Huckster emerging as presidential frontrunners for 2012, Obama must be rubbing his hands with glee

What Have Israelis Done to Deserve Mike Huckabee?

The failed presidential candidate who “majored in miracles” is in the Holy Land as the guest of a pro-settlement group. Huckabee likened opposition to Israeli settlements, which have stalled the peace process, to American segregation. That would make America’s first black president a segregationist, in Mike Huckabee’s estimation. And this man wants the launch codes. —PS

Having peace there would mess up the Christian Right's dreams of Armageddon.
