I’m so sick of the GOP impugning WW2 veterans to make excuses for Israel. The British were under siege, on an island, targeted by nightly air raids, limited access to ports and supplies.

Not by then we weren’t, but we had been and the war was far from over. Although V weapons were still been launched at large cities in the hope of hitting something and breaking morale
So the IDF is not shooting at Gazans trying to reach food aid trucks?
Mike Huckabee, a supposed "religious" man, does more to denigrate his religion than represent it. A despicable human being who spawned the evil that is his daughter and now supports genocide in the name of his Religion.
Amazing how they keep referencing other war crimes when they try to deflect from the accusations
Hitler was the first to drop bombs on civilians. What were the Brits supposed to do!
Ah, well if Hitler did it, then we definitely have to do the same.
There are a lot of Nazis in America.
The Muscovites do the same thing. They think they have a right to invade sovereign countries, kill, rape, torture and plunder. Because Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. Conveniently forgetting that in all of these cases no territory was made part of the US.
From wikipedia. Holocaust deniers and pro-Nazi polemicists—most notably British writer David Irving—use the bombing in an attempt to establish a moral equivalence between the war crimes committed by the Nazi government and the killing of German civilians by Allied
There is no moral equivalence as the Holocaust was systematic evil genovide without peer, but the UK does not deserve a free pass for war crime of Dresden and US does not deserve a free pass for war crimes of Hiroshima/Nagasaki.
I don't get the fixation with Dresden. There were far more abhorent targets of allied bombing efforts in nazi germany than Dresden. Dresden had at least startegic value as a logistics hub. There were plenty of german cities without strategic value, that were bombed.
But none to the extent of Dresden, costing 25k lives, with questionable military purpose, and occurring at end of war, when it was huge overkill and a display of allied military might?
"systematic evil genocide without peer" Israel: "hold my beer"
Although I agree with most of this thread, and don't agree with Muscovite equivalence propaganda, it is still legitimate to question US Imperialism in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq and all the people we killed, raped, tortured etc. in name of democracy but really for military and economic interests.
Dresden was unquestionably a war crime. But it wasn’t part of any Allied campaign of genocide against Germany. The Israeli government has allowed itself to drift into a campaign of genocide against Gaza, only for the purpose of keeping Netanyahu in power and out of prison!
And that makes it right? Some Christian he is.
Apples/Oranges
Born a little earlier and this guy would be KKK. He has all the attributes.
Dresden, is the very reason international law was introduced, so that such atrocities never happen again. Have you learnt nothing Huckabee? It was okay to kill 25000 civilians then so it's okay now? You are nothing but a heartless,evil warmonger and history will remember your genocide complicity.
And they've killed more than 25000. Do you remember how hell broke loose after Srebrenica? About 8000 civilians and even NATO reacted. Now, total impunity.
Clearly Huckabee hasn'tread "Among the Dead Cities" by A.C. Grayling...or read anything about Dresden for that matter.
Dresden was one of the darkest weeks for the Allies in WW2. Huckabee would be hard pressed to use a better example AGAINST his argument than the bombings of Dresden.
smh
Whatabout that other genocide from 80 years ago? Don't talk about *my* genocidal tendencies when others have had genocidal tendencies too. I'm just doing what they do, I've learned nothing from history, or life in general and definitely nothing from the Bible I thump.
How the f*ck does that WWII war crime justify or deflect from this current atrocity - starving children in Gaza and genocide.
The allies fed German POWs throughout the war and kept the German population alive in the immediate aftermath of the war, at a time when the British had to impose bread rationing on its own population to meet the demand for food. Ambassadors should know more history before they try to pontificate.
True, but Huckabee has no business being an ambassador, so there's that.
In World War II Dresden, was saturation bombed, just prove that we could be as heartless as the Nazis... I'm pretty sure this is the same reasoning behind Mike Huckabee having children.
as if that has anything to do with Gaza. This whole 'whataboutism' is simply what you'd hear between two 4 year olds in a sandbox: "Mommy, why do I have to do that? Johnny doesn't!" And for some reason, total grownup adults accept this nonsense?
Can’t believe he didn’t raise Nagasaki and Hiroshima Oh, wait.
Here...let me compare one war crime to another. That'll work.
Spoken like one who just finished a Wikipedia article.
"It's not a war crime if I think it isn't" isn't a very good take, Huckster...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whatabo...
This guy is the lord's own 'truth teller' "The Huckster, as many have noted, has been seen frequently on TV parroting a claim for Relaxium as a “clinically proven” sleep aid." (December 15, 2022) arktimes.com/news/2022/12...
Let’s not mention Hiroshima then
or Nagasaki
Definitely don’t mention Nagasaki
Oops!
Damnit, alright. As long as we don’t mention agent orange or napalm, we should be ok.
Or Korea. Or Vietnam.
or central America or Afghanistan or Iraq
Well, shit.
So ignorant of history
Asshole
WTF 😬
That is why we ought to study history all our lives; makes Mike sound like the complete idiot he is.
I wish he’d just stick to what he and his Sarah know best: hush puppies and potatoes fried in bacon grease.
Huckabee and his daughter have been compromised for years! Fake Christians!!!
Why is Huckabee so Fuggin tanned?? Is that now a GOP requirement?
Canada has made food and med. drops. They won't fire on I.S. planes.
Thank you for being you #Canada
Spoken like a "real" historian. And let me know when he gets to the genocide on American soil.
He forgot the part where the GAZA empire had occupied the area from Russia to North Africa and from France to the North Pole.
Those bombs were made in America. WTF?
Oh shut the hell up Huckabee... whataboutisum
Dresden has been decided as a war crime & we're supposed to learn from history, not use it as an excuse to repeat the worst of it.
TF is he talking about?
Huckabee makes no sense whatsoever.
Mike Huckabee is bullshit personified.
War Pigs Crimes Against Humanity Offense under the guise of defense
Herr Huckabee is channeling his inner Old Testament god again. Ugh.
Pretty sure the Allies didn’t carpet bomb any cities they had already occupied. And one of the things they put a LOT of effort into was feeding German civilians.
Perhaps Hiroshima and Nagasaki would like a word here.
In other words we shouldn’t learn from our mistakes??? A lot of pilots knew Dresden wasn’t a military target. For many it bothered them for the rest of their lives.
Huckabee is a Christian fundamentalist who believes in end world fantasy stuff. He just wants to set up the scene for his savior to come and rapture him to heaven.
If only.
Probably explains the white God beard 🤔
Sure they say this is a war crime. But what about other war crimes? Those weren’t so bad, were they?
And everyone knows that two war crimes make a right.
What a fucking clown.
Did he just recognize Palestine as a state?
Such is the penalty for an attempt at world domination. Are the Palestinians so inclined?
I can't wait till this man leaves earth.
Netanyahu is using his position to not be tried. The same thing Trump is doing. Both are guilty as sin.
These people know nothing about history!! Education is dead in stupid MAGA world.
Only problem is Israel is the Nazis in this version of the story.
Former Israeli agent reveals Israel has been blackmailing U.S. officials 4 decades due 2 ties with Epstein.He specifically named Clinton/Trump who else?
The USAAF also raided Dresden the next morning. Anne Frank was still alive on the day of the raid - how much food were the Germans delivering to her?
Just a reminder. We don't carpet-bomb anymore...
So his response to “Israel is committing genocide” is… “Won’t someone think of the poor Nazis who we bombed in WW2?” 😳
A better example would be when Germany herded all the Jewish civilians in Warsaw into a ghetto and systematically murdered them by bullets and starvation. Mike is telling us that Netanyahu is no better than Hitler.
What a pig
What’s his point? He’s having a rough couple days explaining Christian values.
next, he'll mention fire bombing Japan
Now he is a nazi apologist. On brand for a zionist.
But he believes in Jesus. Time to give your bibles people.
Dresden was wrong as well. We are meant to be learning from history not repeating it.
It's not a coincidence that Huckabee is going next level whataboutism. Whataboutism is how the Russian government justifies everything.
Israel is justified in slaughtering civilians in Gaza because the British did it to Germans in WWII, says the Reverand Mike Huckabee. What a sick fuck.
You almost have to admire those who see themselves as morally superior because of their supposed conversations with imaginary sky-friends while casually defending genocide, ethnic cleansing, and the killing of children.
Jesus often talked about the Roman’s acts of war to justify him killing them….oh right, that never happened!
Fucking uncle Tom.
Thats justification.
If you have to go back to the firebombing of Dresden to say what Israel is doing isn't so bad, you're pretty evil.
How convenient to bring up wwII. What the republicans are doing is in essence giving aide to hitler by helping bibi.
Reminder that Mike Huckabee wrote this drivel to Trump. The scariest part, “You have many voices speaking to you Sir, but there is only ONE voice that matters. HIS voice.” These religious zealots don’t care about laws or people. They only care about sky daddy’s voice in their head.
How can BIPOC work for Fox?
1945 2025 That's all I have
😱
Huckabee aids and abets genocide by gaslighting and propagandising pathetic excuses justifying Israeli crimes. He deserves to be treated as a capital offender.
His obese son killed the dog, and he's still not the biggest cunt in that family.
And if this wankspanner knew his history he'd know that the bombing of Dresden had no effect whatsoever on the longevity of WW2.
I'm appreciative that this guy believes in hell...
Mike Huckabee is a genocidal Christian nationalist. Full stop.
Fuckabee, the faux Christian.
So...the Brits should bomb Israel in order to make up for their historical errors? M'kay...
And was that good or bad
So he's equating Gaza with Nazi Germany? No push back from Fox viewers I suppose.
🙄
Was Dresden an open air prison for an oppressed minority whose land was stolen?
What the fuck?
As an aside - in addition to being an atrocity, post-war evaluations assessed the effectiveness of the Dresden & Tokyo firebombings on the war effort as nil. They had no redeeming value in any regard.
Huckabee is SO insignificant. STFU dude and quit lying!
A fine example of mental gymnastics.
Even Robert McNamara said those firebombings were war crimes.
If America did it, it isn’t a war crime is the mindset—because Americans are the “good guys”. This is true because it’s defined that way for them, not because of observable fact.
Check whose aircraft were bombing Dresden the next day…
I suspect a lot of the Right’s self-esteem comes from being “White”, being “Christian”, and being “American”. So, all those things are inherently good and rarely incapable of doing wrong.
White male fragility stuck in the 1980s vibes.
Dresden was a war crime.
"It's been done before, ergo doing it again is a good idea."
Holy crap
Huckabee wants Israel for Jesus not for the Jewish people.
Fuck Mike Huckabee. Him and his whole fucking family.
bsky.app/profile/patr...
Hell! While we're about it, let's remember Hiroshima. The worse war crime, the better, if we're looking for precedents.
No it was killing the Nazis who were responsible for for genocide, @mikehuckabee.bsky.social
What a wanker, as we say in Britain.
Anyone with two eyes can see what Israel is doing to Gaza. Why do they continue to protect Israel?? All I see is that Israel learned from their oppressors!
Why does every man employed by Trump turn shades of red
RFK has talked them into some special facial balm mentioned once on TikTok that supposedly keeps them out of jail for decades
Hucka-been Laden siding with actual Nazis, once again, in order to defend genocide. And the Likud party don't feel the littlest bit uncomfortable having this guy defend them on state media?
He should read Slaughterhouse Five by Vonnegut to really understand the Dresden firebombing atrocity. An American caught up in hell. But that would entail reading, understanding, and learning from history which none of these GOP morons can do. Fuck them all.
He compares it to Dresden? But Dresden was ~20k dead, not the 200k Goebbels claimed. And no one defends that firebombing today—it’s seen as a needless atrocity. So if your argument is “we’ve done horrific things before,” that’s not a defense. That’s a confession.
Mike Huckabee is a racist Christofascist.
Every single member of the current administration is such an odious person that I actually hate them.
Just remember Nagasaki. Over 35000 civilians were killed in that bombing alone.
Defending the indefensible.
AYFKM?????
False equivalencies are a specialty for fake Christians.
Are the Palestinians Nazis in Huckabee's equation?
WTF?
Came here to say this as well. What the actual fuck.
It’s OK because the Allies did it first.
Equating this to WWII tells me how absolutely dumb and unqualified this putz is. He and his family are being greased in crypto like the rest of them, only can be this dumb if there is a benefit to you. Ask every Rs congressperson, official, and their cronies. Not hard to see, thats the Whole game
Dresden was a joint effort. the USA approved, and worked in concert with the British. He's not too stupid to know this, but he thinks MAGA is.
How many tonnes of bombs have Israel dropped.. 🤦♂️Fucking ghoul.
What about-ism is lazy
“All this Holy Land is based on that book of fiction? Does the Holy Land contain the talking bushes, zombies rising from the dead, entire seas parting, public consumption of father/daughter activities, circumcisions, and contradictory bullshit? That Holy Land?”
Evil is thy name
It’s 2025 clown
Whataboutism doesn't justify the actions of Bibi and Israel ...
Using Goebbels talking points is never a good look.
People like him make me thank god that I’m an atheist
Hey! What’s going on on Truth these days? MAGA get back in line behind their pedo leader?
Just got my account back after a 24 hour suspension 🤦🏼♂️
What’s happening Aly! Deactivated my TS account for awhile. I have to take breaks over there every once in awhile for my well being lol Will activate again probably next week. I’ll give a heads up when I do.
Glad you are taking a break!!! Keeping up with it all …. All the time will cause mental issues!!!!! 🙂
Same
I’m with you on that!
I concur!
As a Brit I have no issue with Dresden being labelled a war crime, not our proudest moment. WTaF has this to do with Gaza though?
Whataboutism
Same guy is probably proud of hiroshima.
I guess if Dresden was justified then somehow that makes the situation in Gaza ok too. Abhorrent stuff.
It's used as an argument against labelling what Israel does in Gaza as genocide. But it doesn't really make any moral difference, if you ask me. They committed war crimes.
fgs! Huckabee is using Putin's method of an out-of-context "You do it too". The cheap shots are actually irrelevant. The real message is the contemptuous 'I know I'm doing wrong but you can't touch me' signal that Republicans regularly use these days.
Huck is an ordained pastor.
Germany basically declared war on the world and the world responded. Palestine people were attacked by Israel right after WW2 ended. There are documentaries about how the israeli army killed them while PRAYING IN MOSQUES.
Bro Huckabee should slap a satanic sign on that huge head of his.
insane. as germans know & say: to compare apples & pears is insane!
Errrr….several important differences here for those with an above room temperature IQ.
📌
Like 99.89% of all Trump hires, Huckleberry is a complete moron.
Holy land my ass.
Kurt Vonnegut enters the chat…
...They're monsters. They're just fucking monsters. They will not stop until Gaza is glass and there is not a single living Palestinian there.
Yeah Fuckabee, Dresden was full of fucking NAZIS YOU FUCKING CHRISTOFASCIST.
What inane horse shit
JFC.. the dumb fuck evidently doesn't know we fighting in WW2 when Dresden was bombed?
Oh no. The man's outfoxed his critics by mentioning a war crime that occurred over 80 years ago in completely different circumstances. (Never argue with an idiot🤦)
As a defence, this is on a par with 'Republicans can't be racist, because Abraham Lincoln was a Republican!'.
History seems to be a total mystery to Mike, eh?
The Huckabee family is ass.
Gaslighting POS on stupid-steroids.
Who even cares what this Huckabee character has to say
He’s partly correct. The allied forces & historians today were & are divided on the need to fire bomb Dresden. Even that bastard Churchill was for the bombing before it happened thought the scale of destruction was excessive. Huckabee is all in on this slaughter & has no intention of changing.
2/ Can we give Israel another billion dollars to strap a smart bomb guidance pack to Schmuckabee and drop him on Gaza? It would be money well spent.
Huckabee has mastered whataboutism His FSB instructors must be proud
He never read Vonnegut, huh?
I doubt he reads much of anything.
When he visited the West Bank, Christians there were struck by his ignorance of the settler-perpetrated violence. Ignorance seems to sum him up.
It's important to remember Huckabee willingly became a minister in a racist church (the Southern Baptists were still officially pro-segregation when he was ordained). There is no reason to expect him to understand basic humanity.
One could glean better ideals from the Beatitudes, but only if they were in one’s heart to begin with.
From July 30 episode of BBC Newshour re: Huckabee’s visit to the village of Taybeh.
LoL. Palestinian Christians are of no value to the West.
Maybe the Bible... upside down.
So it goes…
So it goes
I thought this fake "christian" died years ago.
He's a pro-genocide, a Christian Zionist Fascist that Masturbates at the thought of the extinguishing Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank.
Hamas isn’t a war machine that rolled thru Europe and was murdering millions in the process. 🇮🇱 is essentially bombing a 25x3-7 mi ghetto (look it up, huckster. Walled in cities. Familiar?) Sweet jeebus, is he this dumb on porpoise? #epsteintrump #justiceforVirginia
Oh f*ck you Huckabee
If Huck wants to go there, maybe he can comment on the firebombing of Japan in March 1945. As Gen. LeMay said “I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal” At least he has some self awareness
Here’s the recent history Huckabee. Shame on you, shame on BiBi, shame on Israel and shame on the US.
Both are war crimes
Soooo…other countries did war crimes 80years ago so this is ok is the argument? Not the own he thinks it is.
Definitely not. Even the Allied bombing campaign was randomly criticized at the time. They didn’t call the UK planner ‘bomber Harris’ for nothing.
‘Roundly’
Zero pushback for equating WWII with Gazan genocide..
Mike what an uncaring and unchristian thing to say
...Suckabee, I don't remember the Allied Forces killing most of Germany then planning on removing whoever's left so the invaders can take the land and develop resorts. You do wear fascist stupidity well, the beard's not fooling anyone...going for the JD dunce look? I was sure you'd passed...
This is a very good point, no one should be criticising Israel until it has surpassed the deaths of all other historical conflicts ever, and then we will just have to think of some other excuse instead.
Once an asshole, always an asshole.
One would hope that with the March of civilization, the lessons we take from the past are good and not horrible ones.
Dresden? Holy hell🤦
Ah...the .....'but others did war crimes too defence..'..
Nazis gotta Nazi
He does know that was a joint attack by the British and the US
Fuckabees!
Total nonsense from a fake Christian evangelical. FACT: Many holocaust survivors WANTED the Allies to bomb the concentration camps to end the genocide.
The new Nationalist Christian Baptist Party. Another millionaire preacher who would go to hell if there were one.
The US also didn’t carry out the Morgenthau plan after the war.
Such a fine Christian.
These hooligans truly sink to new lows every day
"See, this is just like the time the Allies committed what is widely acknowledged to be an unjustified massacre, done as 'payback' for the Blitz. That's good, right?" (Also, Churchill wouldn't even send food to the Indians who were Britain's subjects.)
Also, let’s say it’s not a genocide, but merely a casual disregard for civilian lives. What’s his point? He feels Jesus would be fine with that?
Oh no, those poor nazis! And before you start going "um actually" yes it was a war crime, but fascists love bring up Dresden constantly to try to paint Nazi Germany as a victim of allied aggression, and to try to paint some equivalency between the allies and the Axis.
The lusitania killed a fair few people. That too could be considered a war crime. So what's his point?
Mike is just practicing his Republican Christianity.
All of you...please...go watch : Praying for Armageddon (both parts)
Conveniently forgetting: 1. USA was part of that campaign too. 2. Hiroshima 3. Nagasaki. 4. Geneva Conventions were POST WWII, BECAUSE of things like Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki etc. 5. USA can FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF until it re-signs and ratifies the Rome Statutes.
Sounds like he could use some Relaxium Sleep. Mike Huckabee: the founding con artist scumbag of a family of con artist scumbags. A Republican role model.
Mike Huckabee is normalizing our own war crimes to distract from the fact that the situation in Gaza (and the West Bank) has more in common with expansionist genocides perpetrated by the Italian Fascists in Libya, the Russians in Circassia and Chechnya, and by our own government and settlers
The Israeli’s have dirt of Fuckabee too…. youtu.be/vWSwydKqCYA?...
Huckabee is the og pos. There is a special place in hell for that monster and his daughter.
These pro life guys sure love killing people....
As my fourth grade teacher would say: "two wrongs don't make a right."
Fuckabee cannot justify anything Israel and their genocide. We don’t want Israel to feed anybody. Just let the food and medicine get to Gaza.
