Mike Huckabee cites three reasons for waning US support for Israel
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told NewsNation Thursday that declining American support stems from disinformation, hostility toward believers, and a lack of biblical knowledge.
Ambassador outlines specific causes
Huckabee identified social media disinformation and foreign propaganda as primary drivers of the shift in public opinion. He also pointed to a general hostility toward individuals who believe in God and follow religious rules. A third factor he mentioned is the lack of biblical literacy among the American population.
Ambassador addresses genocide claims
The ambassador dismissed allegations that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza or operating as an apartheid state. He stated that Americans would hold a more favorable view if they examined the truth about the situation. Huckabee suggested that these negative perceptions result from combining the three sources he identified earlier.
