Former Governor of Arkansas and 2008 GOP presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee, visited the Gush Katif Museum Wednesday.
In Israel for a tour of support, Huckabee toured the musem’s exhibitions in Jerusalem chronicling the vibrant Jewish life cut short by Ariel Sharon’s disengagement plan.
“I’m not here as a zionist, but as a human being,” Huckabee, a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2012, told a COLlive reporter.
“We all must learn the lesson from Gush Katif. (People) should be able to live anywhere in Israel, like in America,” he added, flanked by New York Assemblyman (D) Dov Hikind.
During the three-day visit sponsored by the Ateret Cohanim organization, Huckabee said that establishing a Palestinian state in “the middle of the Jewish homeland” would be “unrealistic.”
Time magazine called his 11th trip to Israel “Huckabee’s First 2012 Campaign Stop.”
The Obama Administration has been at odds with the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyanhu over settlement activity in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, Matthew Kalman reported.
And Huckabee has used his trip to accuse Barack Obama of zigzagging on pledges to Israel made during his 2008 campaign.
“Our primary concern ought to be whether or not Iran is weaponizing nuclear material, not whether 20 peaceful Jewish families happen to be moving into a neighborhood in their own country,” Huckabee said.
Sorry to dissappoint you but the words “openly declared war ” were said by the Rebbe about one of the (bearded) individuals in these pictures. The fact that you were unaware of this leaves me questioning whether indeed you had any real connection with the Rebbe and Lubavitch, or if you have just joined the newly formed excitement movement
why do you have to mention the woman? the whole point of this website is to stay clean and here i have a meshugana making my children look up to see a picture of a woman…..shame on you!!
Daven that his heart should follow that of Harper’s, not the plight of the poor palestinians in exile next door to gush katif. Obama spent time in Sderot but failed to see the difference between the Jew and the Goy
hopefully we should see the all israel out of the hand off the Zionist very fast and moshych will come after that
its aschalta dageula
Don’t forget that Wolpe is only preaching evrything that the Rebbe stands for when it comes to” Shleymus Haretz”. If people don’t like it keep quiet!!!!!!!!
Great pictures. I’m impressed that in the spirit of true journalism, you presented these pictures without opinion and commentary.
i recognize the lady in the pink shirt from the gush katif video
With a positive article, nothing negative whatsoever, You introduce machlokes. who’s causing agmas nefesh to the Rebbe. I REALLY wonder who’s going to get the stern look when the Rebbe comes back with the Geulah Shleimah bimhera V’yomeinu.
i love the how ppl argue through the comments,
collive should really take off that option….
‘Why must you publish pictures of people who have openly declared war with the Rebbe ZY”A”
after reading your comment I think that Mike Huckabbe who Isn’t even Jewish has more shachus to the Rebbe and Lubavitch then you do
Why must you publish pictures of people who have openly declared war with the Rebbe ZY”A.
