"There's no such thing as a Palestinian": Huckabee

In one video clip played widely this morning on CNN, Mike Huckabee proclaims, "there's no such thing as a Palestinian". In the attached video he goes even further.

Trump and Huckabee promise peace in the region. Ya, like the US Cavalry brought peace to the Great Plains.

The cry rings out from Dearborn Michigan: "Save Us, Jill Stein".

As for me, "pass the popcorn".

Do any of the POC or women, or young men, or the working class that voted for Trump think they are going to be better off with these monsters in office? Such incredible ignorance. All their hate will come back and destroy them. Unfortunately, the rest of us will have to suffer too.

Other Arab countries don’t actually care about what happens to Palestinians. They just use their plight to distract their domestic population from problems at home.

I'm not a gambler, but I'll wager the five bucks in my wallet, that the Saudi's would finance what you were talking about.

There are exceptions - but this isn't a people well known for their pragmatism. They are more likely to be people who lash out at those they perceive as enemies... even if the predictable consequences are worse for them.

But he is being used as a deflection for the 13-month war-crimes spree against Palestinians. If I could blame that on him trust me I would but clearly he was not piloting those bomber jets destroying schools and hospitals and homes, driving the bulldozers plowing civilians into shredded meat, putting bullets into kids' heads or blocking and obstructing aid armed with nothing but his plans for development.

Perhaps we can start laying blame where it belongs?

But to look at Gaza in its current state and see real estate and not abject human misery is about as vacuous as a man can get.

Well they were warned and decided the fate of their people.

There’s a video going around with the uncommitted voters before the election, I’d just love love love to hear what they have to say now.
