U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee Says Israel Is Entitled to Entire Middle East: 'It Would Be Fine If They Took It All' [View all]

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said Israel would be “fine” to take control of territory stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates during a tense exchange with Tucker Carlson as the host grilled him on his biblical “justification” for the country’s territory.

Speaking on The Tucker Carlson Show on Friday, Huckabee was pressed repeatedly on the biblical boundaries he cited as divinely promised to the Jewish people as the host asked him “what land” specifically he was talking about, noting the remit in the biblical book of Genesis is greater than the borders of modern-day Israel.

Such a border is alluded to in the expansionist idea of a “Greater Israel,” an ambition by some understood to encompass land across several modern states, including parts of Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq, as well as Palestinian territories.

Midway through the interview, as Huckabee accused Carlson of drawing the conversation away from Christian Zionism, the host said, “You have said it three times that God gave this land to this people and so it is entirely fair for me with respect to ask what land are you talking about because I just read Genesis 15, as I have many times, and that land I think it says from the Nile to the Euphrates, which is once again basically the entire Middle East.”

Radicals like Huckleberry don't care about "Israel" or "Judaism". They only care about converting everyone to their brand of "Xtianity" and that includes the Jews.
