Mike Huckabee: Friend Or Foe?

Mike Huckabee is no friend of Jews. Introducing the true Mike Huckabee, a man committed to evangelizing the Jews:

Huckabee's Spiritual War With Am Yisrael

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.

No Place For Slander (AUDIO)

These are my latest reflections on evangelicals who smile at Jews while sharing sushi with them in Hebron. And on the misguided Jews who repeatedly fall for their ruse. This is also a statement of clarification in response to those Jews who falsely accuse us of slander, and claim that we believe that THEY THEMSELVES (these Jews) support "missionary activity". Lies repeated often enough remain lies regardless of what people believe. Had any of these people actually read or listened to anything posted on this blog, they would know that no one has accused them of being missionaries themselves. Only of being friends with missionaries.

Most of these misguided Jews either naively believe that these people and groups are harmless, or have the arrogance to believe that they can play a dangerous game of "strange bedfellows". Some hasbara types are indeed corrupt, and more than a few are corrupt in terms of their warped Torah perspective. One often hears the refrain of "good intentions". Good intentions? Good intentions have destroyed better men than these. 

Our detractors glibly hurl the charge of "slander/libel" at my colleagues and I, whenever we tackle these troubling issues. They avoid addressing our questions or the evidence we produce. Their usage of the term renders them guilty of the crime themselves, since none of us are involved in any form of slander. Nor are we attacking "good Jews", which is a clever way to evade responsibility for one's actions. We are simply calling out public Jewish personalities for what we believe are dangerous alliances with the enemies of Am Yisrael. No personal animus fuels us, nor is there any personal gain from addressing these upsetting issues. On the contrary. Speaking unpleasant truths usually comes at a cost.

I regularly use the term "enemies" to paint evangelicals, precisely how a proper Jewish approach would deem any group harmful to us. Evangelicals are indeed our enemies, and no amount of "Israeli" support can detract from their insidious spiritual warfare on our sacred Torah. Stating truth and exposing the irresponsible public behavior of public people does not constitute slander/libel.

Once upon a time, religious Jews recognized that Esau's kiss was the kiss of spiritual death. Yet today, we have "religious" Jews meeting and greeting, and befriending and breaking bread with these vipers. Teaching Torah to missionaries. Giving tours to messianic congregations in Israel. Giving them a foothold in Jewish communities on Jewish land that should be used to house other Jews.

I choose to not remain silent, regardless of the threats of bullies. If I am engaged in slander or libel, the logical thing to do would be to hire a lawyer and serve me my papers. If nothing else, have the attorney clarify the precise nature of the supposed libel/slander, and if I find your arguments convincing or I recognize errors on my part, I will publicly apologize and make the appropriate corrections. I have never been afraid to apologize if I am wrong. But just to hurl the terms around doesn't make it so, even if one hopes that something will stick. 

Contrary to the lie that many Jews espouse, evangelicals aren't our "brothers" or righteous gentiles. They have the same agenda that their forebears had hundreds of years ago. But they are wiser today and they've discovered clever ways to earn the confidence of Jews. Consider the fact that "Hayovel", a veritable missionary organization, is well-entrenched in Har Bracha today, with the blessings of the town's rabbi. Would such a thing have even been possible twenty years ago? Jews argue that they are friends, and yet they arrogantly hawk messianic bibles on their website. After Tommy Waller's supposed and much heralded recent "repentance"!

Jews can ignore this perversion as long as they wish. At the end of the day, chareidi, daati leumi, and chiloni will all pay the price. One day soon, we will all suffer the consequence of these dangerous alliances.
