Huckabee Lambasts BDS Movement, Peace Negotiations, Praises Scarlett Johanssen

[Purveyor]

Presumptive 2016 US Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee did not mince words regarding his stances on the burgeoning Boycott, Divestment and Sanction (BDS) movement and floundering Palestinian peace negotiations while visiting the capital Monday.

During a press conference held at Jerusalem’s Bible Lands Museum, Huckabee patently denounced the BDS movement as “embarrassingly stupid,” and questioned the substance and viability of US-brokered peace talks.

“The BDS movement is embarrassingly stupid because Israel represents the one place [in the Middle East] where freedom exists,” said the 2008 presidential candidate, and former Arkansas governor, who came to the capital with nearly 300 Christian American pilgrims to tour the city and attend a new exhibit at the museum.

Moreover, Huckabee said the contention that Israeli is an “apartheid state” – an increasingly prevalent argument on US and international college campuses – is based on anti-Semitic sentiment and is irrefutably false.
