His visit included a stop at an Israeli viewing platform of Gaza genocide, complete with telescope.  This platform, partially funded by US aid to Israel, as is the genocide.  The viewing platform is open to the public, and is a popular location for Israeli public school field trips.

If he is confirmed, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee will be the first non-Jewish US ambassador to Israel since 2011. He is a Christian Zionist, a very special category within the US political sector.

Zionism is sometimes preached from Christian pulpits, discrediting Christianity in every case.  It's difficult to reconcile Jesus's teachings with the conduct of mass murder for a political empire, as European and American imperialists did robustly through the 1600s to the 1900s.  Christian governments, using ostensibly Christian soldiers, worked to kill, rape, terrorize, enslave and ravage in the name of bringing Jesus to people who didn't know Him.  Christianity expanded. But as it expanded, and politicized, it lost credibility.

When governmental or religious credibility is lost, the people gradually, and then rapidly, turn away from those governments, and those religions.

Accelerated by the accessibility of unfiltered information, this turning away has been happening in the Christian Zionist community for some time.  It is in this context that Trump is making good on some variant of H.L. Mencken's observation that "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard." Sending Huckabee to Jerusalem rings of Trumpian superlative, and it gives me a peculiar kind of hope.

I doubt the Israeli government actually welcomes this outspoken "Christian" politician as US Ambassador.   Since 2011, only American Zionist Jews have held this post.  Combined with outspoken Zionist Elaine Stefanik at the UN, the world will have daily confirmation of US explicit and command bias for Greater Israel – loud and proud, out of the closet.
