I do not have a sophisticated understanding of Huckabee’s theology but have read it is called Dispensational Christianity, which was crystalized by the dubious Scofield Reference Bible in USA.
Whatever the case, Huckabee’s obeisance does not seem appropriate to me, especially while Israel’s savage assault on Gaza is ongoing and he is representing USA.
I know it is too much to ask of any mainstream prominent American, but it would be good if at least a few of them openly recognized that both USA and Israel had to have had foreknowledge of the 10/07 attack and that Israel clearly delayed reacting to it and was responsible for the majority of Israelis killed that day. This profoundly undermines the ersatz ‘moral basis’ of the slaughter and starvation of so many Gazan women, children and civilians.
I am fine with religion and government mixing on abstract and some practical levels, but Huckabee is taking this much too far into dangerous intellectual and theological territory. ABN
