[When, possibly the most delusional "Christian Zionist" American slave to Satanic genocidal Israel finally recognizes the true nature of the pure evil he has been defending, we are beginning to see a new dawn rising...one without the parasitical strangulation of our entire Nation by Jewish Money and Jewish special interests. We must take this golden moment to our advantage and roll this breaking wave of anti-Zionism over the US Congress and the entire US GOVT. This is our first real opportunity to confront the BEAST that brands all criticism as "anti-semitism". The United States of America was NEVER intended to be an Israeli colony.]
US ambassador to Israel slams settler siege against West Bank Palestinians as ‘terror’
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on Thursday denounced a siege by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank village of Qusra as a "horrific act of terror". Huckabee, an evangelical Christian pastor who in the past has embraced Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, said the Israeli army intervened on Wednesday after a US request, but the soldiers failed to remove the settlers.
The US ambassador to Israel, a staunch supporter of West Bank settlements, on Thursday denounced as "terror" a siege by settlers against Palestinians that drew an unsuccessful intervention by the army.
Settlers near Nablus since Sunday have blockaded Palestinian homes, including one owned by a US citizen, with residents saying they have been cut off from food and other supplies.
"Actions by those who carried out this horrific act of terror meant to intimidate and harass this family are disgusting," Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador in Jerusalem, wrote on X in response to criticism of the US response.
"No excuse for such thuggish behaviour," he wrote.
Huckabee said Israel had intervened at the request of the United States, its crucial ally.
The remarks are especially striking from Huckabee, an evangelical Christian pastor who in the past has embraced Jewish settlement in the West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967, and rejected the idea of a Palestinian state.
The Israeli military on Wednesday sent in forces who took away a tent, but witnesses said settlers defiantly remained at the site with blankets.

The army announced later Wednesday that it would send a new battalion to try to impose order.
Violence against Palestinians by Israeli settlers in the West Bank has increased dramatically since the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas from the Gaza Strip.
More than 500,000 Israelis live in settlements in the West Bank, which are illegal under international law, among some three million Palestinians in the territory.
