Huckabee A Friend To Israel
From the Jerusalem Post:
"We cannot live with al-Qaida, but we might be able to live with a contained Iran. Iran will not acquire nuclear weapons on my watch," he wrote. "But before I look parents in the eye to explain why I put their son's or daughter's life at risk, I want to do everything possible to avoid conflict. We have substantive issues to discuss with Teheran. Recent direct negotiations about Iraq have not been productive because they have not explored the full range of issues."
He has also been staunchly supportive of Israel, writing in Foreign Affairs that, "I will not waver in standing by our ally Israel." It is a country he has visited several times, leading groups there as well as taking his family.
Huckabee has drawn on his experience in the Holy Land in making his pitch to voters, which has especially resonated with evangelicals.
When he spoke to thousands of Republican boosters at the Iowa straw poll this summer, he recalled his trip to Yad Vashem and the tragedy Jews experienced during the Holocaust to call them to action.
Huckabee's son David told The Jerusalem Post that he remembers the trip well and the impact it had on his family.
"I'll never forget the bus ride home. The bus at any other time on the trip, there was laughing and joking. At the bus on the ride home, not a word was said," he said of the visit to Yad Vashem. "It helped him in his parenting role for us in how to treat people equally and not judge them on color and religion. It absolutely has a role in the way we were raised and treats people and teaches us to treat people and leads people."
