Commentary — The GOP presidential sweepstakes race is becoming ever more crowded with pseudo patriots trying to win the blessing of Jewish tribalist oligarchs who will provide the funding to make “legitimate candidates.” These kosher candidates, even if they wind up going nowhere in the primaries, define the “debate” within the Republican party and will assure that subservience to Israel defines the GOP. Is it any wonder that a recent Bloomberg poll shows that 70% of Republican voters respond that when Israeli interests and American interests diverge, the U.S. government should pursue Israeli interests. And Huckabee, the ordained Baptist minister who leads tours of evangelical Christians to Jewish settlements in the West Bank, embodies the proposition that when the desires of violent Jewish settlers clash with the needs of those who have followed Christ in the land of his birth for 2000 years, Christians can go to hell.
