In addition to avoiding whitesplainin’, Huckabee (and the rest of his rightwing cohorts) should forever avoid trying to make analogies, because he/they totally suck at it.

Rejecting the use of the words “West Bank”, Huckabee said it should be called “Judea and Samaria”, adding: “I don’t see it as occupied, that makes it appear as if someone is illegally taking land. I don’t see it that way.”

He went on: “In America, we have about a 400-year relationship to Manhattan. It would be as if I came and said we need to end our occupation of Manhattan. I’m pretty sure most Americans would find that laughable.”

But the Palestinians should have given up their land to create Israel when there hadn’t been an independent Jewish state there for 2,000 years?
