US Ambassador Mike Huckabee Blames Lack of Bible Knowledge for Waning American Support

Mike Huckabee links waning American backing for Israel directly to a decline in religious literacy and rising disinformation.

United States Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee attributed the decline in American public backing for Israel to a lack of biblical literacy. He argued that widespread disinformation and growing hostility toward religious believers have further accelerated the trend. His comments follow polling indicating that a majority of adult Americans view Israel unfavourably.

• Huckabee cited disinformation and antagonism toward people of faith as major drivers behind shifting public attitudes.
• A Pew Research survey conducted in April recorded that 60 percent of adults in the United States hold an unfavourable view of Israel.
