Washington – Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has denounced the deal reached by the United States and other world powers on Iran’s nuclear program by saying President Barack Obama is marching Israelis “to the door of the oven,” a reference to the Holocaust.

The head of the Democratic National Committee on Sunday demanded an apology by Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor whose comments came in an interview with a conservative website on Saturday.
“This president’s foreign policy is the most feckless in American history,” Huckabee told “Breitbart News Saturday.” “It is so naive that he would trust the Iranians. By doing so, he will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.”
Huckabee’s reference was to the Nazi death camps where millions of Jews and others were killed during World War Two.
“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,” Huckabee added.
U.S. Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, said Huckabee’s rhetoric “has no place in American politics.”
“Cavalier analogies to the Holocaust are unacceptable. Mike Huckabee must apologize to the Jewish community and to the American people for this grossly irresponsible statement,” Wasserman Schultz said in a statement.
Many U.S. Republicans have come out strongly against the July 14 accord aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear program in return for easing economic sanctions.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has cultivated a close relationship with U.S. Republicans, has called the deal a threat to the survival of Israel. Netanyahu has urged U.S. lawmakers to reject a deal he said would only feed an “Iranian terror machine” and would give Tehran “a sure path to nuclear weapons.”
Huckabee is seeking his party’s nomination for president in the November 2016 U.S. election. A CNN/ORC poll released on Sunday showed him in 7th place with the support of 5 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning registered voters.
There are 16 declared Republican candidates so far.
Mike Huckabee should apologize to the Jewish community and American people?
He is standing up for Ameran people and for the Jewish community trying to prevent another holocost!
And people like Schultz Wasserman who supports Obama with Kerry should be ashamed!
And those who made that idiotic deal with terror-spreading Iran should be impriosoned for putting the whole USA with Israel into nuclear danger from Iran!
The issue at hand is
The complacency of the
Society we are presently -in
irrespective of the Religious sect.
The western approach
To things
Is primarily :
“So long as im not burning to death
So long as my last breath
Is not threatened
And the heck with anything else”.
Well if history teaches us something
Its , that the anaconda slowly slowly
Circles itself around its prey thereby
Eliminating the awareness of its victim to shrug him off right away ,
Where once its got itself fully surrounded and then the constriction begins thus suffocating its prey each time when exhaling and never to be able to again inhale as before
But less and less untill the life is being sucked out of it and then he’s got himself a fine meal !
Yet of course we will not learn
And the enemy which currently possesses the helms of the once free world , he is eschewing our once greatest country and envy of the four corners of the universe , all the while we are hoping , well its not our last breath yet , yet full knowing its coming sooner than later.
Whatever one’s views of the nuclear agreement with Iran – and we have been critical of it, noting that there are serious unanswered questions that need to be addressed – comments such as those by Mike Huckabee suggesting the president is leading Israel to another Holocaust are completely out of line and unacceptable.
Making peace with people you like is fun and easy, but serves little purpose. Making peace with people you don’t like is takes courage and hard work, but will stop a major war.
thats precisely what that bum obama wants , this guy is a dictator period
Greenblatt openly identifies himself with beneath contempt group that sold Jews long time ago in exchange for their impeccable credentials with the left. Yes, ADL. The group that, I am sure, expressed “concern” with the suicidal deal with Iran. So whatever Greenblatt has to say about honest, although not perfectly polished, man like Mike Huckabee, or about anything else for that matter, is not worth more than any capo’s opinion.
Israel has done nothing about Iran and will do NOTHING about Iran. Bibi is all talk. Talk is cheap and Jewish blood isn’t cheap Bibi.
Huckabee is a rebel flag waving evangelical, whose world view is that Israel and all Jews will be consumed in an apocalypse. If that’s supporting Israel, then he should be tossed into an oven.After he drops out of the race, he’ll get a big payday from Fox News. Feh.
When a candidate says exactly what he knows what you want to hear, do you believe him?
What “action” do you expect of him? To join the IDF?
Listen to his words reported by HaAretz:
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, said during a visit to Israel:
“I don’t think the talks are going anywhere at all. Nothing has been asked of the Palestinians, nothing, not one thing. And until there’s an understanding of the Jewish state’s right to exist, I’m not sure there’s anything to negotiate,”
“As long as textbooks of the children of Palestinians celebrate the death of Jews…you cannot negotiate, you cannot talk about peace if one of the parties has no intention of a peaceful resolution,”
Huckabee also said that the BDS movement was full of stupidity and anti-Semitism. “How else can someone understand this?” He said. “I was so proud of Scarlett Johansson,” he added, for deciding to quit Oxfam rather then drop her agreement with SodaStream, which operates a West Bank plant. She showed that she has more sense than 99.9 percent of the people sitting in the UN today.”
