i understand and empathize with the urgency of pressuring Biden to improve his atrocious Israel policy but the idea that "it couldn't get worse" or that Trump would potentially be the same or an improvement for Palestinians was just not true.
Some tidbits: Huckabee refers to the West Bank as “Judea and Samaria”, has held fundraisers in Israeli settlements, thinks there is “no such thing as a Palestinian,” and that the very concept of Palestinian identity is “a political tool to try and force land away from Israel.”
