Huckabee Supports a Palestinian State–in Saudi Arabia

by on January 7, 2008 3

From the Jerusalem Post:

"To boot, the New Hampshire lawmaker [Jason Bedrick, an Orthodox Jew] added, Huckabee is pro-Israel: He has visited the Jewish
state nine times, and told the crowd at the Bedrick house party that he
favored the establishment of a Palestinian state – in Egypt or Saudi
Arabia."

    I would laugh, but I fear that this guy really has a shot at the Presidency. Look at who we've had for the last seven years and tell me that Huckabee has no chance.

    Saudi Arabia? I doubt Huckabee said anything of the kind. Where's the quote?

    Couldn't find the JPost link, but the same report of Huckabee's remarks appears in an Oct. 15th story in the Jewish Russian Telegraph:

    It probably won't have occurred to Huckabee that advocating the deportation of Palestinians to distant lands closely parallels a common 19th century view that African-Americans should be deported to empty lands in the Caribbean, South America, or Africa.

    Needless to say, Huckabee would be burnt at the stake for advocating deportation of blacks from America today. But he evidently considers it perfectly appropriate for Palestinian N-words. As the old UN resolution asserted, zionism is racism …
