On Thursday, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee expressed his concerns about rising antisemitism during an appearance on Newsmax TV’s “American Agenda.” His remarks came in the wake of a tragic incident in Washington, D.C., where a couple was murdered by a suspect described as a left-wing pro-Palestine activist.
Huckabee discussed the importance of addressing this growing hatred toward Jewish people. He attributed part of the problem to ignorance and called for more civility among individuals. He urged people to seek accurate information and criticized slogans like “From the river to the sea” and “Queers for Palestine,” labeling them as signs of ignorance.
The ambassador emphasized the need for a strong response to antisemitism. He reminded viewers of the historical suffering of Jewish people, including the Holocaust, and stressed that society must ensure such atrocities are never repeated. Huckabee encouraged Christians to vocalize their support for Jewish communities, stating that they should not face this challenge alone.
He also called for strict penalties for those who commit violence against innocent people, particularly those who are Jewish. Huckabee highlighted that loving God and being Jewish should never be seen as a crime. His passionate plea aimed to rally support for Jewish people facing discrimination and violence.
