U.S. Evangelicals Call for Christians to Boycott, Divest, and Sanction Israel NOT for Massacring Palestinians, but for Preventing Christians from Visiting the “Holy Land”
When the former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee was appointed as the U.S. Ambassador to Israel by Donald Trump just after the elections in 2024, the illegal settlers in the West Bank cheered, as Huckabee has supported such settlements in the past. Prior to his appointment as the Israeli Ambassador, Mike Huckabee led groups of Americans to visit Israel on "Holy Land" tours, charging tourists thousands of dollars to visit the "Holy Land." Since the 1980s, he has led more than 100 tours to Israel. In his 2024 Holy Land tour, it started with a base price of $5,850.00 with upgrades available for an additional $7000.00, with a maximum cost per person of $12,850.00. Fast forward to today, and now all of a sudden Mr. Huckabee is changing his tune about how wonderful Israel is, as it is becoming widely known that the settlers are not just attacking Palestinian Muslims by taking their land, destroying their buildings, and killing their livestock. These Israeli Zionist settlers are doing the same thing to Palestinian Christians. And even worse for Huckabee, Israel is reportedly not giving out visas anymore to Evangelical Christians and their missionaries. So now Huckabee and other Evangelical Christians in Trump's administration are crying foul! They are actually calling for Christians in the U.S. to "boycott, divest, and sanction Israel," just the same as the pro-Palestinian groups in the U.S. are for the genocide currently happening in Gaza.
