“The Levant … Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon – it’d also be big parts of Saudi Arabia and Iraq,” Carlson said.
Huckabee said: “I’m not sure it would go that far, but it would be a big piece of land.”
He continued: “Israel is a land that God gave, through Abraham, to a people that he chose. It was a people, a place and a purpose.”
Pressed by Carlson on whether Israel has the right to that land, Huckabee responded: “It would be fine if they took it all.”

insanity, and theological illiteracy for a supposed Christian.
Safe bet is that Israel has the dirt that either implicates him or someone above him of pedophilia.
agreed
I don’t know about theological illiteracy. There’s a lot of actual doctrine out there on much shakier scriptural foundations.
thank you it’s nice to be seen
it’s US protestant heresy. it’s not consistent with the traditional christian understanding of Israel.
If you had said Catholicism you might be right, for all I know, but that’s actually a big part of my background. US (and Canadian) protestantism is an amorphous mass; it doesn’t really have heresies, exact rules are up to the pastor today. It does have tribal symbols, though, and Isreal is one of them (despite the typical belief that Jews go to hell).
Prosperity gospel? They have that. Charities? That too. Cults where you have to give everything away like the desciples? They’re around, although they can’t compete with pastors that say what people want to hear.
to clarify: it is heresy, born out of US protestantism, which is, as you describe, rife with heresy.
not that US prots think it’s heresy, since you are correct that they don’t acknowledge a corrective, authoritative body.
So he wouldn’t mind if we showed up to his house and threw his shit family out? Housing is expensive, so let’s steal it from the Nazis.
Bonus points if God gifted it to you through the striations of the burn marks in your toast.
Ah, but his personal interpretation of god didn’t okay aggression against him.
Expanding from “the river to the sea” has always been the plan, since before Israel got reestablished. These people are accelerationists trying to fast forward to their end times prophecies
Hey, Mike? Why don’t you and your daughter get the Fuckabee out of politics.
Not sure it has quite sunk in yet for Sarah that she is never going to be POTUS.
God dammit did Tucker Carlson do a journalism again? I’m going to be so upset if he’s a factor in ending MAGA.
Even broken clocks are right twice a day. It doesn’t make them useful, they still belong in the trash.
I wonder how Saudi Arabia would feel about that??
Isn’t the Trump-family immensely-wealthier as a result of some “deals” with them??
Which is why it won’t actually happen under Trump. Huckabee can say whatever he wants, he’s not the voice that counts.
Of course it’d be “fine”, it’s the damn plan. Good Buddha these people are nothing more than terrorist invaders. Fucking crusaders, an entire millenia late to the party. Bullies on an international scale.
Headline is exaggerated; he’s only talking about the west side of the Middle East, so their buddies on the Persian gulf aren’t included.
That being said, if Israel goes the way of becoming an empire, it’s a region next door that’s both absurdly rich and defenseless. And with every other military power in the region being ground down, that looks like more and more of a long-term possibility.
I’m sorry but West Middle East just sounds to me like middle with extras.
And then the middle kingdom is China, and New Zealand is Middle Earth, all while being further east yet.
Yes, let Israel do whatever they want, and subjugate whoever they want. If we do, Sky-Daddy will come back for the righteous people like us!
I am not entirely sure what I believe in terms of theology, there are some things Humans simply are not equipped as we are now to know. Despite that, what I do know is that organized religion is quite possibly the worst thing to befall the human race.
Oh, and if by some freak twist of fate they happen to be right (they aren’t), I would so love to see the look on their faces when they learn they are not the righteous ones.
