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.

    Hope for humanity really is just dead. It was a great idea, but just way too early. Probably have at least another 2k years to go before we get our act together. If we even last that long.

      I figure the corvids and raccoons deserve a chance to be dominant species at this point.

        I really, really hope that one of them develops a higher heat tolerance and can pick up vaguely where we left off. Hopefully the ecosystem isn’t fucked enough to just kill everything.
