For those Jews who continue to defend the indefensible, the following video is yet another example of evangelical missionary Mike Huckabee showing his true face with the mask pulled back. If this is a friend, G-d save us from our friends.
"The best thing to happen for Israel would be that the gospel would take hold in Israelis and in Arabs, and that the common ground to bring peace in the Middle East, would not be something that diplomats would have a clue about, it would be something that would happen not at a peace table, but rather at the foot of the cross."- Mike Huckabee
Don't let his heimish southern charm fool you. He may appear charming on television when he spouts nice talking points in support of Israel. Yet only a fool (or worse) can watch these videos and conclude otherwise. And any Jew who associates with this menace, a man who proudly supports and endorses the spiritual jackals of "One For Israel" Ministry, should be ashamed of themselves. Huckabee is the spiritual equivalent of Hamas.
"Fake news!", one clown declared on Facebook when the following video of Huckabee's "One For Israel" endorsement resurfaced. Fake news? The video is featured on their own website, which painfully documents a commitment to evangelizing Jews, including elderly, vulnerable, holocaust survivors.
Another social media nitwit lied when he declared that Huckabee has since repudiated his endorsement when he "found out" about "One For Israel"'s purpose. Huckabee never repudiated anything. And precisely how could Huckabee be duped when his endorsement clearly states that he supports their work in bringing the gospel to Jews (and Arabs). Does the video above suggest that Huckabee was confused about their stated mission? It couldn't be more apparent.
Jews who continue to support Huckabee and wine and dine with him in Israel's heartland are not naive. There are other reasons for their behavior, all of them are shameful. If we had proper leadership today, such public associations would earn a Jew the punishment of excommunication. Shame on any Jew who associates with these malignant characters. Shame on those who abrogate halacha by participating in interfaith prayer and study sessions.
There is a price we pay for our misdeeds. No one gets away with anything in this world. The collaborators and enablers who empower these predators will one day pay the price for their sins. Perhaps not in this world, but surely in the next. Yet their sins are an infection for our people since they normalize the profane and humanize our spiritual enemies.
It wasn't that long ago when this kind of insanity would have been apparent to most decent Jews. The outrage would have been universal. Yet we live in insane times, and there are no true Torah leaders today. So while Huckabee encourages the evangelizing of Jews, Jews turn the other cheek and fress on sushi with him, while drinking wine from grapes picked by other equally committed missionaries. All in the name of hasbara. All while rationalizing their sins with distortions of Torah passages that would make any Southern Baptist proud.
Never before in history have we seen "Brother Esau" aided in his evangelizing efforts with the active collusion of religious Jews, prominent religious organizations and institutions, and even a handful of Rabbis who give a hechsher to this modern worship of Baal. And we haven't even seen the worst of it. Make no mistake. This is just the beginning.
Hashem help us.
