Political reality forcing their hand. With the current Israel first administration we can look forward to continued expansion into the west bank and other areas.
To have CONTINUED Expansion - there has to be some demonstrable expansion currently or with in the last few years.

Can you cite where that expansion has happened - please include links. Because all I've seen is Isreal withdrawing from areas over the last 20 years or so,

The west bank must not exist in your universe.

Citation please. You certainly do not expect a poster to just take the word of another poster.

In 1967, during the Six-Day War, Israel captured the West Bank from Jordan. Since then, Israel has maintained military control over the territory.

Certainly if they are continuing to expand you have an example from almost 60 years ago.

I expect a basic familiarity with the subject if you're offering a opinion about it.

The continued expansion of Israeli only settlements and associated infrastructure is contemporary.

America is still a gentile nation and will one day take up arms against Israel along with all other gentile nations. Under the rule of the man of sin.​
that will never happen because Israel created USA. Freemasons founded USA and their emblem is a stylized Star of David. It's not just a coincidence if you study the rituals and traditions. USA is a mouthpiece of Israel.

They use the Obama time machine to do that?

The last sentence does not improve it.
Agreed. The story is about what Huckabee said, not what Israel may or may not do.

'It would be fine if the Southern states enslaved illegal immigrants.'

Please note that no states have suggested they will enslave illegal immigrants.

It would be nice to have an ambassador with US interests at heart dealing with our “ ally”.

So.. how much land will Israel have to grab to force God to finally trigger the apocalypse? Any bets?
More. The answer is always more.

If Huckabee had said that Israel has no plans on expanding its borders and the US would want that position to remain, then all would be good. But he didn't say that, did he. He said that IF Israel tried to expand its borders then 'it would be fine'.

No, it wouldn't be.
