Former Governor of Arkansas as potential running mate of Senator John McCain told reporters, shortly before going to the Jewish nation-state, he feels safer walking around in Israeli than in American cities.
“I have no fear to go to Israel,” Huckabee said before boarding a plane at Kennedy Airport.
“I felt more fear in American cities. I can walk down the streets of Tel Aviv at night without a problem. But I, of course, have the knowledge of which places not to go at night, just like any other city in America.”
Although the point is well taken – lower criminality rates in Israel, for instance – one wonders why it is that Huckabee and others like him pretend that Israel could be destroyed by its enemies any time now.
