Mike Huckabee's "Without Israel there would be no America" comment

Jun 23, 2026

A pro-Israel claim by US Ambassador Mike Huckabee gets mocked as illogical, framing the broader debate over unquestioning US support for Israel.

  • Huckabee said that without Israel, there would be no America — a claim attacked as making no sense, since Israel was founded in 1948 and America 250 years ago.
  • The pushback asks whether the statement is meant literally, ideologically, or theologically, and finds no clear answer.
  • When the point was challenged directly, the only response given was being called a "Nazi" — used here as proof that the argument can't be defended.
  • The clip is part of a wider effort to question whether US politicians back Israel without honest debate.

Outlook: Expect more public fights over US-Israel ties as critics keep pressing pro-Israel figures to defend their claims.
