Mike Huckabee must be a Christian Zionist judging by his latest incendiary comments equating the Iran Deal with the Holocaust.
Mike Huckabee on Iran deal: Obama marching Israelis to 'door of the oven'
By JENNIFER SHUTT
The former Arkansas governor made the comment, with its allusion to the Holocaust, in a conversation with the conservative news site Breitbart.com.
“This president’s foreign policy is the most feckless in American history,” he said. “It is so naive that [Barack Obama] would trust the Iranians. By doing so, he will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.
“This is the most idiotic thing, this Iran deal. It should be rejected by both Democrats and Republicans in Congress and by the American people. I read the whole deal. We gave away the whole store. It’s got to be stopped.”
The deal between Iran and the US, Russia, Germany, France, Britain and China was reached in Vienna two weeks ago. Iran accepted strict restrictions on its nuclear ambitions – including the elimination of 98% of its uranium stockpile and the removal of two-thirds of its uranium-enriching centrifuges – in return for the lifting of economic sanctions.
Opposition from Israel has been fierce, with fire turned on prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu over his failure to thwart the deal. Immediately after the accord was announced, the leader of the Jewish state called it a mistake of historic proportions.
Dachau
Comparing the Iran Deal to the Holocaust is utterly reprehensible. I've been to see Dachau, a place of unspeakable horror and human degradation on an industrial scale. That has no place in our national political discourse.
After seeing this I have to question Huckabee's fitness to be a President of the US. Would he use the office to try and hasten the "End Times" as the ultimate goal of Christian Zionists? That question now becomes one we absolutely do need to consider in choosing our nest president.
Jewish Dems Call on GOP to Denounce “Inexcusable” Huckabee Remarks
The National Jewish Democratic Council today denounced comments made by former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee in the strongest possible terms after the Republican presidential candidate stated that President Obama is leading Israelis “to the door of the oven.” The organization called on the numerous Republican presidential candidates to denounce the offensive remarks at once, noting that the field had no such qualms about doing so when Donald Trump launched a personal attack at fellow Republican Sen. John McCain.
“Far, far too often, this organization has found itself forced to denounce politicians for invoking the Holocaust in inappropriate and offensive ways. These comments by Gov. Mike Huckabee, however, may be the most inexcusable we've encountered in recent memory. To state that President Obama is leading Israelis 'to the door of the oven' is not only disgustingly offensive to the President and the White House, but shows utter, callous disregard for the millions of lives lost in the Shoah and to the pain still felt by their descendants today.
“In our eyes, it is almost pointless to demand Gov. Huckabee apologize for his remarks, although he certainly should. This was not a random, off-the-cuff remark, and the Jewish community deserves better than to hear a false apology that we doubt will stop the former Governor from offending again in the future. What we do demand is that Gov. Huckabee's fellow Republican presidential candidates denounce his offensive statement at once. Republicans have fallen over themselves to speak out against Donald Trump's outrageous rhetoric on immigration and veterans. Will they now do the same and speak out against this unacceptable attack against President Obama that smears the memory of Holocaust victims, as they did when Trump attacked Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)? Or will they stand by in silence and implicit approval? We call on every candidate to condemn Gov. Huckabee's disgusting statement and to show where they truly stand.”
Jewish Group Dumps Mike Huckabee Over His Rampant Transphobia
The Jewish National Fund of Canada (JNF) has told Mike Huckabee he is no longer welcome to speak at their Negev Dinner in Ottawa next October. The event raises money for autism research in Israel.
