2. Israel's own hawkish prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
alise ,   Jerusalem   (08.17.09)
"Israel's own HAWKISH prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. " Can someone tell me what is "hawkish" about Bibi? His refusal to pay complete obedience to Obama? This makes his "hawkish"? Bibi is, after all, supposed to be the PM of an independent, democratic state. Is he supposed to automatically bow down low to the US or Israel's own left? Shame on the Jerusalem Post for so thoughtlessly using these destructive and inane descriptions. One would think a newpaper could pay a little attention to language.
3. 24 CARAT FAKE
Marcel ,   Florida   (08.17.09)
If Hucksterby was for real he would have forcefuly called for the end of the FAILED,FAILED,FAILED US led Road Map. The Arabs do not need another state and Israel can't afford to give up what little land it has to fatah,hamas Islamic jihadist who don't want peace ! That's the stand of real Christians who really believe the bible ! These politicians are always Hucksterring the voters for their own narcissistic agenda.
4. Who is befriending extremists?
Swiss Racoon   (08.17.09)
Is it Huckabee who defends the rights of Jews to live wherever they want or is it Barack Hussein Obama who supports the establishment of yet another Arab state while ignoring the course of recent history?
5. Mike Huckabee
Billie Herring ,   Fullerton, CA USA   (08.17.09)
Whoever you nerds are that say Mike Huckabee is trying to regaing standing in American politics do not know what you are talking about. I agree with Mike Huckabee and I am not in politics at all except to stand against Obama's socialist government. The land of Israel was given to them many years ago by God and it still belongs to Israel as any true born again believe knows. Any true believer stands for Israel against all who are trying to take the land from them, in part or in whole. We pray for Israle very day!!!

9. the nomenclature of liars is to call...
truth   (08.17.09)
honest reasonable people "extremists". The thing is, you liars are also racists. Jews can live wherever they please and they do not require your permission. How dare you! You do not have the right to preclude any people from their home.
10. Go Home Yankee!
Ussishkin ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (08.17.09)
Being a petulant Republican is understandable. In the US culture of "everyone loves a winner" when you`ve lost power after 8 years in which you did much to destroy world trust and confidence in the US, you should feel much more than petulant. You should be ashamed. The list of reasons why is too long for here, but suffice to say that monetarist `free market` policies and the attempt to impose the will of the US on other parts of the world by force encompass enough. Now for a failed Republican presidential candidate to come here and mess about with settlers is disgusting. Go Home Yankee!
11. #7 I agree . Fox is the best. You hear both sides of the
story,& they rank #1 ,   above ALL others.   (08.17.09)
12.  Huckabee go home
John ,   JERUSALEM   (08.17.09)
Huckabee another presidential candidate hungry for jewish votes.
13. U.S. is with Israel
Mike Schwartz   (08.17.09)
Barack is not U.S.A., and we will see it during 2012 elections. If anyone has facebook account I urge you to join the anti-Israeli J Street non-profit and post as many comments as you can about the right of the Jewish people to all of the land of Israel; the right to Jerusalem; tell them that two state solution is an illusion. We need to do this because they are fooling the public and the Jewish people. Here is the link to the site: http://www.facebook.com/jstreetdotorg
14. to 1; Obama is a MSNBC clown.

15. Mike Huckabee
Pearce McMahon ,   Golden Valley AZ USA   (08.17.09)
Mike is a supporter of Israel, and a christan, Obama who attended a church for 20 years that preached hate for Israel and the USA . Is no friend and supporter of eather country, He has the main streem press as a propergander and lies, the people here were fooled by all the false promises and now are waking up to his real agenda. our senate and congress is betraying the people by folling him, but hopefully now they are getting the message peo[ple are fed up with there actions.
16. Some positives in Huckabee's actions and statments.....
Steve Klein   (08.17.09)
There are indeed good things in Mr. Huckabee's statements and his actions. On the other hand, Huckabee said: "The Obama administration's emphasis on the settlement issue sets a condition that unnecessarily impedes peace talks." Huckabee is an ordained Baptist minister who is well-grounded in word of God; in the Hebrew Bible. Does Mr. Huckabee actually believe there will be peace in the region between Israel and her declared enemies this side of God's kingdom, or the world to come? I am an almost forty year registered (conservative) Republican. To my knowledge, self-professed Christian President George W. Bush NEVER visited one Jewish settlement in our land. This is to Huckabee's credit that he has and does. On the other hand Bush boasted he was the first American president to make the establishment of a Muslim-enemy state in Israel a formal goal of US policy. He enunciated his "vision" only days after the 9/11 Muslim-terror atrocities in New York and Washington in order to appease America's jihadist enemies. Bush codified his (terror-state) abomination in our 2004 national Republican party platform, in addition to commending Israel for her willingness to forcibly uproot thousands of law-abiding Jews from Biblical Israel, in the midst of daily terrorism and violence. Bush supported America's ally Israel's retreat in the face of the Jihad, and Republicans, conservatives, conservative activists and Republican party leaders supported Bush's immoral policies. I have no reason to believe Mr. Huckabee did not likewise support Bush's immoral policies. Did he speak out against Bush's anti-Israel policies? Will Huckabee, if he is the Republican nominee, work to remove this immoral language from our national party platform which presently calls for a Muslim-enemy state in the land that God promised to the descendants of Abraham and Jacob? We will see.
17. Why is it that we Israelis talk bad about those that are for
us,&vote for those ,   that are against us?   (08.17.09)
18. #10
Jennie ,   USA   (08.17.09)
Just what do u think is wrong with USculture,you petulant liberal ? Yes, Americans elected a liberal president this time for whatever reason, who is another appologist for our great country.This could happen.. I hate to dissapoint you, but we are still the worlds most powerful Nation. And America is very proud of Huckabee and especially of his positions towards Israel and the Radical Islam, inlcuding Chamas,fattah,el jazeera,hisbollah.. You and your clueless rhetoric is truly revolting. If Huckabee would praise the actions of palis and demended Israel to withdraw and give up more land for nothing in return, you and your kind would love him. Wouldn't you ?
19. Huckabee for Israel
gracious ,   Central, USA   (08.17.09)
Mike Huckabee is pro-Israel, one of her best friends. He has visited many times at the behest of Israeli leaders and is here by invitation. This is, I think, his 12th visit over about 20 years. He is not currently running for political office but broadcasts an interesting and entertaining TV show and a radio spot. His humor and kindness are very evident to all people. He is not like politicians you may be thinking of, who want fame and money. He is a public servant and believer in freedom and democracy. He is in Israel because he believes that it is not right for other nations to tell Israel what to do or to partition her land. It is needed for the nation to defend itself, which is Israel's right.
20. The Isrelies are too smart to believe
zoy ,   Was israel   (08.17.09)
that a "repulsive republican" is the real deal. He's just sniffing around for votes, money, clout, a vacation spot and accalaids for his own best interest. You repbs & dems are all the same. We In the US know your little deceptive lies games all too too well! Just like you think we dont know Aboma is a Muslim at heart. Nice TRY, dont bother with the next gimmick, we are way to awake for you to fall for the routine!
21. Shutup Huckabee
David ,   USA   (08.17.09)
Hey Huckabee, don't try to give your worthless political opinions on matters that you know nothing about. Stick to being a crooked televangelist who preys on idiotic Americans like your other preacher buddies do.
22. #20-zoy
Jennie ,   US   (08.18.09)
You would be funny for a comic review, if you wouldn't sound so patheticly demented...Just by calling all or any Republicans repulsive, you have revealed your dirty sick mind..Sniffing around for voted& stealing even deceased peoples votes, is a well known common practice of all liberals everywhere..Your whole massage is a "vomit" of a desparate idiot....If you are in US, you should move to one of your protege's countries. You are needed there.....

Neale ,   Syracuse, USA   (08.18.09)
This guy is an unvaluable person. We don't this man in the United States. Keep him forever.
25. SEPARATE US-ISRAEL POLICIES
Frank-el ,   CANADA   (08.18.09)
Mr. Huckabee has a right to an opinion - so do I. The energy of the debate around Israel is inversely proportional to its strategic value to the USA. American posters should reexamine their loyalties and put US interests first. No need to defend Israelis - that's their job. You want to be Israeli - fine - move there and renounce your US citizenship. If Israel wants to thumb its nose at US policy - fine - then do without the $ and weapons provided by the US taxpayer. Israel has a right to exist but guess what, so do a lot of other people. How can such a small rock-strewn place become such a boil on the entire world's behind is a testament to the conflation of US and Israeli national interests. They are not and should not be assumed to be the same and it is only normal that they would often diverge. Cease settlement activity and destroy your nuclear weapons or risk alienating a lot of the rest of us over here (we who pay your bills). I'm sick of US politicians kissing your rear ends. Send your effette Bibi over here to beg for a change (or for some change), like many hardworking Americans out of work.
26. #21 Yet he has the balls 2 come here and stick up4us while
u sit in the states ,   bad mouthing him.   (08.18.09)

ident? No?Well who's ,   invaluable now moron   (08.18.09)
28. I like to watch Mike Huckabee on Fox tv...
Rivkah   (08.18.09)
It saddens me that Senator McCain did not choose Governor Huckabee as his running mate because the election of Barak Hussein Obama is bankrupting America with his reckless spending. The head of the US Federal Reserve Bank said he did not know where half a Trillion dollars in stimulus money went, except that it went to European banks. I can tell you what the half trillion dollars is going to be spent for: an attack on America to pay for the nuclear weapons that will destroy our cities and the invasion through Canada and Mexico. Wall Street Banks funded the Bolshevik revolution in Russia that resulted in the slaughter of 68 million people. the middle class was wiped out. Obama neighbor in Chicago whose home Obama launched his run for President from, Bill Ayers, said at least 25 million Americans would have to be slaughtered for the Socialist/Communist agenda to be imposed. President Reagan set up the Gulag Archipelago (prison camp system above and below ground) with the Rex 84 Law. He was called Ronnie the Red when he was President of the Screen Actors Guild. I don't think Mike Huckabee is a Socialist or Communist. Obama's favorite book is "Rules for Radicals", a communist manifesto. Hope Mike Huckabee runs for President again, but he needs to trim down his waistline for health reasons. That is easy to do if he eats a yam a day with no toppings that is baked and takes 2 tablets daily of 500mcg Chromium picolinate to reduce sugar cravings. Above all things, the Lord wishes His people health; so Governor Huckabee needs a better nutritional advisor and provider.
29. Huckabee is right
Brod ,   USA   (08.18.09)
It is the LAND OF ISRAEL which is GOD-GIVEN and GOD-RESTORED to the Jews. Israel should continue building and populating its liberated Land of Israel. The Islamist-Jihadist occupiers, marauders, usurpers and squatters have NO right usurping the Biblical and Historic Land of Israel from the Jews. The AntiSemites should shut up and stop being puppets of the Islamist-Jihadist world.

Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (08.18.09)
Just ignore this wiseguy. I've seen him post his ultraleftist, socialist idiocies time and again, and I can definitely proclaim that he by no means represents sane Israelis. Every country is entitled to have her own eccentrics...
