(Isn't it funny? Two days ago Mike Huckabee called Israeli settlers 'terrorists' and 'thugs' and said there needs to be accountability for their actions in the West Bank... and suddenly today everyone in the 'alt media' is calling Huckabee a traitor for meeting with Pollard way back in JULY? What a coincidence. ಠ_ಠ )
(The Pollard meeting story came from the NYT. It was released to discredit Huckabee after he said what he did about the rabid settlers in the West Bank and was written by two Jewish reporters based out of Israel, Natan Odenheimer reported from Jerusalem, and Adam Rasgon from Tel Aviv)
'Rasgon’s October 2023 New Yorker piece, “The Hamas Propaganda War,”6
demonized Palestinian journalists — dozens of whom had already been
massacred by Israeli airstrikes. He accused them of over-emphasizing
civilian casualties of Israel's carnage and questioned the accuracy of
the Gaza Health Ministry’s reported death toll...
Rasgon also co-authored an inflammatory October 2024 story9 alleging that secret documents — seized by the Israeli military and obtained by the Times
— showed Iran had prior knowledge of the October 7th attacks. The
authors failed to mention that a key Palestinian source credited with
verifying the documents raised concerns about their veracity' The Dossier

'Odenheimer served in the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) as a member of
the “Maglan” special forces commando unit for almost four years...
In his reporting for the Times on the so-called “Israel-Hamas
war,” Odenheimer has repeated Zionist talking points that shift blame
for massacres away from the IOF and onto the victims. Most notably, he
co-authored a July 2024 article accusing Palestinian resistance factions
of intentionally placing civilians in harm's way' The Dossier

from Times of Israel
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee roundly condemned the latest
spate of violence by Israeli extremists against Palestinians in the West
Bank, branding it “terrorism” and calling for “equal justice” and harsh
consequences for all acts of terror whether carried out by Palestinians
or Israelis.
In an interview that aired Wednesday night in the US, Huckabee also
told NewsNation’s Elizabeth Vargas Reports that the perpetrators were
small in number and not representative of Israeli settlers more broadly,
and that Israel is dealing with the issue.
“I think there is an escalation,” he said regarding the attacks,
calling them “acts of terrorism” and adding, “Let’s just be blunt,
that’s what it is.”
Huckabee made the comments amid a rash of violence by Israeli
extremists against West Bank Palestinians. Many of the attacks have
targeted the West Bank’s olive harvest, and groups of assailants
recently torched a mosque and, separately, carried out a string of arson
attacks, among other acts of harassment.
According to United Nations figures, October saw the most attacks of this sort since at least 2006.
“Israelis can carry out terrorism as well,” Huckabee said. “But most
of these people are not actual settlers who live there — there may be
some, but this is a very small number, mostly of youth, angry and
disaffected. These are thugs.”...
