Mike Huckabee suggested any future Palestinian state should be carved out of ‘a Muslim country’
Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, has said that the US is no longer pursuing the goal of an independent Palestinian state, marking what analysts describe as the most explicit abandonment yet of a cornerstone of US Middle East diplomacy.
Asked during an interview with Bloomberg News if a Palestinian state remains a goal of US policy, he replied: “I don’t think so.”
The former Arkansas governor chosen by Donald Trump as his envoy to Israel went further by suggesting that any future Palestinian entity could be carved out of “a Muslim country” rather than requiring Israel to cede territory.
I vote this as the default slogan for all Western Civ history classes
Yes and Eastern civilizations would do it too if they had the power. This is a human problem, not just a western problem.
Maybe, but the theft of indigenous lands is a continuum from the western European empires of yore to what’s on the news today, so what I’m talking about is a concrete reality that is unfolding (yet again) right in front of us, while you’re talking about a probability that things might be the same if, if, if…
How is “theft of indigenous” lands a western thing? I cant think of a single region that didnt seek to acquire more territory.
So your argument is that it isn’t a human thing and easterners are superior to westerners? Would that be a race thing?
No, making a parallel doesn’t mean that’s the only reality.
Can you expand your “Maybe” answer to my assertion that this is a human problem not just a western problem?
If it isn’t a human problem, what is it?
Relax Jesus Christ, I made a parallel, you took it as absolute truth and challenged that it should apply to all humanity. That wasn’t my point, it’s yours, so I’m not trying to make it for you. Thanks
“How dare you try to inquire further when I say something vaguely racists. Good Day Sir!”
I’m so sorry, i didn’t realize you were developmentally mid-west American. Have a good day little fella
Not superior, but different. And yes, tribes are different, of course they are. Completely sober, a group of Germans/Finns and a group of Nigerians/Venezuelans/Algerians are completely different and we both know how. Western Europeans without ideology and morality turn into murderers. History proves it. They have fewer issues in dehumanising others, they sleep well at night in a house they robbed from people they killed (from the Native Americans to the Palestinians). No bs, can you say the same for other people in earnest?
