Mike Huckabee, in Israel, Says Palestinian State 'Unrealistic'

By Bob Franken - Politics Daily

When you combine his far-out ideas with his "aw-shucks" style and quick wit, Mike Huckabee could easily be called the "cute extremist." Now he's taken his rock-star act to Israel, where he's siding, not surprisingly, with the most conservative elements there, declaring that a Palestinian state in the middle of the Jewish homeland is "virtually unrealistic." Huckabee is on a three-day tour designed to keep his name in the "true believer" political mix back home by siding with Israel's religious nationalist true believers. ...
