American journalist and conservative commentator Katie Pavlich has publicly defended U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee against criticism over his remark that without Israel there would be no America. Huckabee's original statement, posted on social media Tuesday, drew backlash. In a lengthy post, Pavlich argued that Huckabee's claim was historically accurate, citing a 1789 letter from George Washington to the Jewish community of Savannah, Georgia, in which Washington invoked the Exodus narrative. She also noted that John Adams and Thomas Jefferson proposed placing Moses parting the Red Sea on the Great Seal of the United States, and that a marble portrait of Moses hangs in the U.S. House of Representatives. As The Zioneer previously reported, Huckabee made similar remarks on the Jewish foundation of America earlier this week, and has frequently emphasized a divine-covenant basis for Israel's success in recent speeches. The latest defense adds a prominent conservative voice to the ongoing public discussion.
