U.S.Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee called out Macklemore for antisemitism on Thursday, saying he supports NFL owners pushing to cancel Macklemore’s performances.
“It’s really unfortunate that Malcklemore has decided that he’s going to become the voice, if you will, of Jew hatred, and I don’t understand why it’s entertainers like him think that it is entertaining to go and take a pro-Hamas position, a position that supports people that viciously raped, beheaded babies, burned elderly people in their wheelchairs and did unthinkable and unspeakable things to innocent civilians as Hamas came across the border from Gaza and butchered, massacred 1,200 people, and then took 251 people hostage, including many Americans,” Huckabee said.

“The fact that there’s a pushback against that, why not?I think most of us would say that, you know, you have free speech, but that doesn’t mean that you can say anything you want anytime you want, anywhere you want without consequences.The people that own these stadiums, the people that have promoted the concerts, weren’t promoting a pro-Hamas rally,” he added.
Huckabee went on to address reports of rising antisemitism in Canada and calls for President Donald Trump’s administration to take on the issue.

“I think we’ve all seen and, frankly, been quite alarmed at some of the extraordinary Jew hatred that is taking place in Canada, and many Canadian Jewish people are really concerned and afraid for their lives,” Huckabee said.
“And they fear that they might be the subject of some violent attack or a terror attack.The rhetoric in the country has gotten very, very harsh, and President Trump, as you may remember, took the letter from the NACL, and he published it and said that he would certainly look into it.”

“Would Israel be willing to bring some assistance?I think they would.Whether they have been asked?That’s something to ask the Saudis or to ask the Israelis.Wouldn’t be for me to say what has been done or what has been requested.But there is a growing sense that Israel isn’t the problem over here.Israel isn’t trying to take anybody else’s land,” he said.
