    “I would happily go to Shiloh anytime” he said.

    “I think it is very important that as Americans we show support for Israelis in their capacity to build their neighborhoods in their own country.”

    Huckabee, who stressed he did not see Judea and Samaria as occupied, said Israel – – with a 3500 year historic tie to Shiloh — has more of a connection to lands in Judea and Samaria than Americans have to Manhattan, which goes back only 400 years.

    “I feel like it is the right thing to stand with Israel in making sure they have the right to secure their homeland with safe and defendable borders, he said.

    “It is interesting to me that our government has put more pressure on the Israeli government to stop building bedrooms in their own neighborhoods, than on Iran to stop building bombs.”

    Huckabee pointedly did not come out in support of a two-state solution, saying that the final outcome should be determined between Israeli and Palestinian negotiators.

    Regarding the Iranian nuclear deal, Huckabee said that it is a mistake to provide those threatening to destroy you with bullets and assisting them in loading the gun.

    Huckabee said he would “most certainly undo” the Iranian nuclear deal if elected president.

    its true, OBAMA compares ISIS to crusaders (even though one was a thousand years ago) so Huckabee speaks the truth and is more Zionist than most of the knesset..

    Here’s the problem. I fully agree with Huckabee’s position. No grain of sand of Biblical Eretz Yisroel belongs to an Arab. It’s ours, and we should inhabit it, and build wherever we want. However, the position of US and the rest of the world is against us, and this mission will flop. There needs to be a better way to make this into US policy. Putting it into a campaign will wreck everything. Any ideas, me fellow non-politicians?

    This guy is a joke and a very confused person. He believes that the 10 year old child in south america who was raped by her father should be forced to carry the child to term. What a sickness he must live with every day, to walk around with opinions like that.

    Lets see big mouth Huckabee to go live in the West Bank which is probably the most dangerous place on planet earth.Yeah,its nice to visit with military trucks protecting.
    It is outrageous for people to encourage Jews to live there. Countless Jews with entire families were slaughtered in the West Bank by blood thirsty murderers Palestinians.

    Eretz Yisroel is the Jewish homeland which was given to us by the almighty as it says in the Torah. And it was taken away from Jews by the almighty becuase we didn’t listen to the Torah and its prophets.
    Jews have no biblical claim about Eretz Yisroel.Our pleas are to Hashem every day to return us to Yerushalayim.
