Don’t tell them in Dearborn Michigan - cause they might realize their mistake in voting for Trump.

That Huckabee fellow sure isn't a very diplomatic diplomat, is he?

In order to fulfill that promise.

Of course, other religions may have ancient texts saying the same land belongs to them.

Perpetual war, bloodshed, atrocity, and unspeakable grief are all part of God's plan!

Is it possible to impeach a deity, then elect a more humane one?

A "more humane one" would be a reflection of the values of those who want a more congenial god. Authoritarians want a more violent, demanding god because it suits their political goals.

That would explain a cruel, vengeful God that craves worship.

Did I just describe you-know-who?

any Graffiti left by the Germans with this motto by leaving their own that said "Yeah, we got mittens too!"

Salah ad-Din's coup de grâce and the end of serious Crusader military power in the Middle East. Deus vult? Guess God was on a break and missed the whole damn thing.

for ambassador to Israel. He should go back to writing cheesy diet books.

Maybe his public standing. But, mostly his wallet.

greased the wheels of "donations" with that statement, didn't he?

And more bullshit from the dusty old book of myth. Genesis 15 is ancient Hebrew fantasies, yet they only managed to control a small corner of the dusty sandbox for short periods. The Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Medes, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Christian Crusaders, and Turks ran roughshod over them for centuries. Who the hell didn't? After the 63 BCE siege, Pompey himself entered the Holy of Holies in the Jewish temple with no ill effect. The Assyrians emptied it out centuries before. Titus emptied and destroyed Herod's version in 70 CE. What's left is what we see today. A ruin. So much for Genesis 15:18-20 and God's supposed covenant, along with the Jewish temple being a serious no go zone.



And not in the future either, Mike, you loon.

Personally I'm committed to Liberal Pluralism, so I think people should be able to pray where they want so long as they arent bothering anyone. YMMV.

Israel gets the Middle East. The US gets the Americas. Russia gets Europe. China gets Asia.

The State of Israel has never made public any details of its nuclear capability or arsenal.

This brand of moron thinks that Israel must be a large country to bring on the end of the world.

They want to trigger the book of Revelation...of course they think that they are going to heaven and all others are going to hell... especially the Jews.

They missed the whole judgement parable about feeding the hungry, taking care of the poor, etc.

He's getting up their in age and needs to get in that damn pine box already.

by a devinely-ordained Israeli boundary (Egypt and Jordan), have just paid a billion dollars to sit on trump's Board of Peace. I would think those two countries in particular would be royally pissed to hear trump's diplomat (emphasis on the 'dip') talking about Israel's rightful boundaries.
They've got about as much chance of getting their billions back, as we do of getting our tariff billions back!

There was a 60 Minutes episode some years back, where they interviewed a former officer in Mossad, that was suspicious of evangelical support of Israel.

This was also dramatized in an episode of the Sopranos.

Someone tells Tony's business partner, Hesh, that the evangelicals are friends of Israel.
He responds: "You wait"

longing for their glory days of power and domination.

which is why they are trying to manufacture an armageddon to make that happen.

There are translation errors.

The Nile river in Hebrew is "y'or", the word used in 15:18 is "nahar". That's a tributary by Port Said, around the Sinai Peninsula. The "great river" boundaries in the section include tributaries and is a generalized ideal.

Regardless, Jews don't need the Bible (or the Holocaust) to justify the existence of Israel. Jews are indigenous to the Levant and have every right to live in the nation-state of Israel.

The word you're looking for is Levantine, and yes, there are other groups who originated in the Levant like the Samaritans. Arabs originated in the Arabian peninsula, spread throughout the Middle East during the Muslim conquests and reached Palestine by the 8th century CE.

He thinks all Jews should be genetically tested to prove they are related to Abraham. I'm pretty sure I have heard that racist idea before, just not from a right winger.

I’m not religious so I find it all weird to say God said it’s our land.

Interesting Ai take:

Tucker Carlson's comments on DNA during his interview with Mike Huckabee served as a pointed counterargument to Huckabee's emphasis on biblical and historical claims to the land in Israel. Carlson used the idea of genetic testing sarcastically to challenge the notion that modern Jewish Israelis—particularly those with European ancestry—have an inherent, divine right to the territory over others who may have deeper local roots. He framed it as a logical extension of Huckabee's theology: If God promised the land to Abraham's descendants (as per Genesis 15:18), then why not use science to identify who those descendants truly are today?

In the exchange, Huckabee argued that the Jewish people's connection to the land dates back 3,800 years through an "unbroken line" of language, culture, faith, and history, regardless of individual religious observance or recent geographic origins. Carlson pushed back by questioning how to verify such descent, especially for figures like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose family has known Eastern European roots and no proven ancient ties to the region. Carlson suggested mandatory DNA testing for everyone in the area to determine genetic continuity with ancient inhabitants, implying it could reveal that many Palestinians (including Christians or those with pre-Islamic roots) have stronger ancestral claims based on thousands of years of provable residency.

For example, Carlson stated: "Why don't we do genetic testing on everybody in the land and find out who Abram's descendants are? ... We can do that. Why don't we do that? ... It would prove who Abram's descendants are and who has a right to live here... If you believe the theology that you've just explained to me, wouldn't you want to know with a burning passion who those people are? ... We can now know who those people are. So why aren't we finding out? ... I guess you could propose a DNA test for everybody who comes here, everybody who lives here."

Huckabee dismissed the idea, saying he had "no idea what that would prove" and expressing discomfort with basing rights on "blood" (i.e., genetics), preferring a secular state model focused on cultural and religious identity. He noted that Jewish identity can be ethnic or faith-based, allowing for the "right of return" even for secular Jews, but avoided engaging deeply with genetic evidence.

Carlson extended the logic to other groups, asking if Europeans like the British or Irish—whose ancient ties are "provable through genetic testing"—have exclusive rights to their lands, highlighting what he saw as hypocrisy in applying biblical claims selectively. This part of the discussion underscored broader tensions in the interview: Huckabee's defense of Israel's existence as a divine covenant versus Carlson's skepticism toward using ancient texts to justify modern territorial control, especially when genetics might complicate the narrative.

The exchange has sparked online debate, with critics accusing Carlson of oversimplifying genetics (e.g., modern DNA studies show mixed ancestries for both Jews and Palestinians, often linking them to ancient Canaanites), while supporters see it as exposing flaws in faith-based land claims.

Overall, Carlson's DNA reference was less about endorsing genetic determinism and more about probing the consistency of Huckabee's arguments in a contemporary, evidence-based context.

The large language models don't think, they simply sort thru millions of pages of data, many of which contain large amounts of antisemitism. Your AI response literally proves that. Consider that no one asks a Navajo to prove his or her genetic connextion to the Navajo nation, even though they may have been living in let's say Phienix for several generations. This heuristic only exists for Jews.

His mistake was doing the interview in the first place, but here's his response to all the haters:

Who thinks Jesus would be down with all the implied bloodshed?

Huckabee is just a shit-stirring moron.

Its the, "We want it, we take it," provision. Doesn't matter that Israel has never owned any of that land. Occupation does not mean ownership.

It's ridiculous to believe otherwise. After all, they're God's chosen people.
Again, they wrote that in their bible, so their God must have said it.
The question is, who is this God they speak of? And, why does he love this particular group of Semites more than anyone else?
Kinda unbelievable isn't it? I mean really unbelievable...totally unbelievable, as in no way this is actually true.
People can write or say anything and claim it's God's word, and they will always be able to get a whole bunch of other people to believe it.

Instead of killing and displacing the unfortunately fucked folks living on "Israel's land", why doesn't HE just make HIS chosen a bunch more land they can live in?

I mean, HE's God, HE can do that, can't HE?

🙄

The most benign response will piss off someone and Boom!

So why bother?
