a Palestinian in the West Bank since 2020.

So in six years of relentless assaults and murders, there hasn't been a single settler charged or prosecuted.

Yet, if the Palestinians so much as raise their hand in defense of themselves, they can be shot or prosecuted for assault.

And it is something that's shocking to most American Christians who have been told that Israel is our greatest ally, but spitting on Christians is something that they believe that they have to do, I guess, from the Talmud is a religious duty.

Now, to be fair, to be fair, when you go to most places in Israel,

You go to Haifa, you can see Palestinians and you can see Israelis, you see Druze, Christians, Jews, and Muslims living together in peace and harmony.

But there are these radical Zionists that hold to a brutal ethno-nationalist apartheid ideology that sees Christians and Palestinians as unworthy of basic human rights and protections.

You know, Ben, I'm shocked and disappointed by Ambassador Huckabee.

In fact, I was in the West Bank when he was named ambassador.

I've known Mike Huckabee since 2006, 2007.

He's someone that I've admired.

I thought of him as a godly and sincere man.

And I understood that he held—I'm a Catholic, and I understood that he held to a dispensationalist theology of Christian Zionism.

but I also thought of him as a very sincere and humane Christian.

And I thought as ambassador, when he sees the intelligence briefings and the reports, when he really begins to understand what's happening on the ground in Gaza and on the ground in the West Bank as a Christian man, he will speak up.

But I have to say, he's been shockingly disappointing, not just on the West Bank.

I was sitting a few rows behind him at midnight mass

at the Church of the Nativity just an hour or so after we did our Christmas Eve broadcast.

And when Sarah saw me, she whispered to her father, Jason Jones is behind us, and they both rolled their eyes.

So clearly they weren't happy with our reporting of the crimes of the State of Israel against the oldest Christian community in the world that's situated in the West Bank.
