Huckabee blames ‘biblical illiteracy’ for waning support for Israel in US

A Pew Research poll in April indicated 60 percent of the US adult population held an unfavourable view of Israel.

US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee says that the recent souring of public opinion in the United States towards Israel is the result of a lack of “biblical literacy”.

In an interview with NewsNation on Thursday, the ambassador suggested there were three sources of declining support for Israel.

He cited disinformation and foreign propaganda, a hatred of those who believe “there is a God and that he’s made up the rules for life”, and not knowing the Bible.

“You add all that together, I guess you just want to be mad at Israel and blame them for everything,” he said.

Huckabee claimed that accusations of genocide in Gaza and that Israel is an apartheid state are false, and Americans would have a more favourable view of Israel if they would “look at the truth”.

A Pew Research poll in April indicated that, although favourable opinion of Israel remained relatively strong at 65 percent among white evangelicals, such as Huckabee, 60 percent of the US adult population held an unfavourable view of Israel.

An AP-NORC poll from July suggested that Americans who believed Israel committed genocide in Gaza outnumbered those who did not, although roughly half said they did not know enough to answer.

For Israel, the decline in support has become alarming as prominent critics of Israel won several elections, including Zohran Mamdani, who became New York City mayor.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used part of his speech at the United Nations General Assembly to lambast Mamdani, claiming that Jews in New York told him that they no longer feel safe in the city.

Netanyahu, too, has seen declining popularity in the US, with the same Pew survey indicating more than half of Americans did not trust him to do the right thing regarding world affairs.

Mamdani has previously said that he opposes hatred and bigotry, including anti-Semitism, but promised to execute an International Criminal Court warrant for Netanyahu for war crimes when the Israeli leader next visited New York City – before eventually concluding that the city did not have the legal authority to do so.

The Divine Mandate and Promises

Genesis 12:1–3 (The Call of Abraham): God commands Abram to leave his homeland for a "land that I will show you." God promises to make him a great nation, bless those who bless him, and curse those who curse him.

Genesis 15:18–21 (The Covenant of the Pieces): God establishes a formal covenant with Abram, explicitly defining the borders of the promised territory: "To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates." It lists the regions of various indigenous peoples residing there at the time.

Genesis 17:7–8 (The Everlasting Covenant): God changes Abram's name to Abraham and establishes an "everlasting covenant." God states, "The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants.

"Key Theological and Political Interpretations

While these texts are frequently cited in political discussions regarding Israel's modern borders and legitimacy, they are interpreted differently across various groups

:Literal / Unconditional View: Many modern supporters of Israel, including Christian Zionists, view these promises as unilateral and eternal. They believe the geographic borders defined in Genesis 15 remain a binding divine right for the Jewish people today, regardless of modern political structures.

Conditional View: Other biblical scholars and theologians emphasise that subsequent books in the Torah (such as Deuteronomy) frame the possession of the land as conditional upon obedience to God’s law, justice, and the moral treatment of foreigners.Universal / Metaphorical View

: Mainline Christian and Catholic traditions often interpret these covenants through a spiritual lens rather than a literal geopolitical mapping, viewing the promises as fulfilled globally through faith.

Trump & Netanyahu doing what the U.N and the Commonwealth should have done in the first place.
U.Ns fault that Iran's nuke program progressed into its last stage for Nukes.

Incompetent Leftism failed and they blame the Right for not joining them in that failure.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has consistently opposed the development and use of nuclear weapons, citing a religious edict known as a fatwa that declares such weapons haram (forbidden) under Islamic law.

The fatwa, first publicly announced in October 2003, explicitly forbids the production, stockpiling, and use of weapons of mass destruction.  Iranian officials, including President Masoud Pezeshkian, have repeatedly reaffirmed that Iran has no intention of building an atomic bomb, attributing this stance to both religious principles and strategic calculations.


Khamenei was murdered by Israel and their puppet.


War criminals Netanyahu and Trump murdered him and many Iranian civilians on a lie.

Like the Iraq lie ... and weapons of mass destruction.

THE above post was brought to you by the words taqiyya and the 'raze Tel Aviv and Haifa'.

Blind swing in the pitch dark ... and a miss Frank.

I like many, didn't fall for 'weapons of mass destruction' 2003, and we are not falling for the same trick 2026.

Ahh. But Iran DOES HAVE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.
Their weapons are being used by Russia for mass destruction: highly advanced drones.
Major missile attacks at Israel & other Arab nations.
They also have HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH & HOUTHIS as Weapons of Mass Destruction.
They also have millions of citizens & little schoolgirls as a Human Shield.

IRAN 🇮🇷 IS A VERY BIG DIFFERENCE TO IRAQ 🇮🇶
VERY BIG.

Now, about that U.N allowing Iran to reach 95% of its Nuke program to nuke Tel Aviv.

Terrorism: since the 1970's.  Iran has been the mothership behind it all.
While the Left narrative FAILED OUT OF INCOMPETENCE & COWARDICE to face up to that fact.
In fact, Obummer Go Funded Iran's NUCLEAR WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION PROGRAM with Billions 💰 🤑 💸 💲  of American taxpayers money .
