Huckabee: Palestinians Should Be Resettled In 'Muslim' Territory

[RandySF]

Huckabee was attending a cornerstone-laying ceremony for a new neighborhood on the Mount of Olives in east Jerusalem -- a disputed territory in the Middle East that Huckabee says should belong to Israel. East Jerusalem and the adjacent West Bank aren't recognized as Israeli land by most of the international community; Israel annexed East Jerusalem shortly after the Six Day War, while the remainder of the West Bank -- where there are numerous Israeli settlements -- remains under military administration..

Palestinians who live in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, Huckabee said, should settle in "territory that in the hands of Muslims, in the hands of Arabs," as determined by the "international community."

Huckabee appeared at the event with actor Jon Voight, the Tea Party's favorite celebrity better known to most Israelis as Angelina Jolie's father.

1. The should just split the damn land in half

half becomes the country of Palestine, half Israel. That will probably never happen but thats the simplest way to settle it.

[Submariner]

2. And Teabaggers like the Huck should be resettled in an Obama FEMA

concentration camp for the terminally republican brain dead as soon as FoxPAC news finds the damn camp.

3. Okay. And American white anglo saxons should be

resettled in England/Europe.

M'kay. :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

4. Huckabee: too fucking stupid to open his mouth? or

too fucking stupid to know when he should shut up?

[Hell Hath No Fury]

6. Both?

:shrug:

5. Um.. wouldn't that be pretty much ANYWHERE in the region?

They would happily go back to the places whose door keys they still have.

7. Seventy-five percent of the people in the West Bank are Muslims.

Would that not make it 'Muslim' territory?

8. And he has what authority to speak on this?

This from someone who sets free rapists and cop killers to run the streets.

9. There you have it: Huckabee, a presidential candidate, calls for ethnic cleansing

It's amazing what Republicans think they can get away with, these days.
