WHO WOULD LAUGH IF PRESIDENT HUCKABEE DENIED MANHATTAN THE FRANCHISE?:
In Jerusalem, Huckabee says West Bank not occupied, two-state solution unworkable (Julie Wiener, 8/19/15, JTA)
The one-state solution removes Israel from the West and from the brotherhood of democracies.Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee said Israel has as much right to the West Bank as the United States has to Manhattan.Speaking at a press conference at Jerusalem's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on Wednesday, the former Arkansas governor, who gave a speech in the West Bank settlement Shiloh on Tuesday said, according to The Guardian: "I don't see it as occupied, that makes it appear as if someone is illegally taking land. I don't see it that way."He added: "In America, we have about a 400-year relationship to Manhattan. It would be as if I came and said we need to end our occupation of Manhattan. I'm pretty sure most Americans would find that laughable."
