There are some truly psychopathic ghouls in the Trump administration, including Trump himself, but as of today I am convinced that US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee is the absolute worst of them.
As Israeli officials become more open about their plans for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip while the Macklemore controversy refocuses public attention on the abuses of Zionism, pro-Israel spinmeisters in both the mass media and the US government are falling all over themselves trying to regain control of the narrative.
During a frenzied ejaculation of propaganda on Newsmax about Macklemore and the pro-Palestine movement, Huckabee repeated long-discredited atrocity propaganda about the October 7 Hamas attack to explain why nobody should oppose Israel’s actions in Gaza.
“These are the people that raped women in front of their own children,” Huckabee ▶told Newsmax host Rob Schmitt. “That hacked off their genitals in front of their families. That lit elderly people on fire and burned them to death while they sat in wheelchairs. That did unspeakable things to children. That cut the heads off of babies and put other babies in an oven while they were alive. Now anyone who cheers that, they’re not just sick, they’re psychopathic.”
“Now if anybody says well that stuff didn’t really happen, well, we know it did, Rob, because Hamas taped themselves doing it. We have it on video,” Huckabee claimed.
To be clear, every single thing Huckabee says here is a lie. The claims about beheaded babies and infants cooked in ovens were soundly debunked in 2023, including in the Israeli press. There is zero video footage anywhere of * any* of the atrocities Huckabee describes. Israel apologists often make up all kinds of false claims about the video footage recorded on October 7 by Hamas GoPro cameras, trusting that the average member of the public will be too squeamish to watch the violent footage for themselves, but I assure you if you care to dive down that video rabbit hole you will find zero evidence of any of the acts Huckabee just listed.
It’s hard to find words to describe how evil this is. Huckabee knows he’s lying when he says these things. He’s 100 percent aware that he’s advancing atrocity propaganda to justify further Israeli atrocities.
When Huckabee first repeated these claims in ▶October and 𝕏November 2023 you could say maybe he didn’t know he was spreading atrocity propaganda because it took a few weeks for mainstream outlets to debunk the claim and for awareness of its inaccuracy to spread into mainstream discourse.
When he repeated the claim 𝕏in September 2025, you could argue that PERHAPS Huckabee was just living in a tightly insulated Zionist echo chamber and was somehow still unaware that the claim had been comprehensively disproven.
But as he repeats this claim 𝕏in May and again September of 2026, after being widely and repeatedly decried for spreading lies and atrocity propaganda, he is indisputably looking the world in the eye and lying to our faces with full and complete knowledge of what he is doing.
Which shows you that he’s been knowingly lying this entire time. This is a Trump-appointed US government official knowingly lying to the public so they will continue to support Israel’s US-backed abuses of the Palestinian people.
Think about how fucked up you’d have to be inside to do something like this. And this freak has the gall to call Palestine supporters “psychopathic”.
In that same deceitful, propagandistic Newsmax interview, Rob Schmitt said it’s actually the opponents of genocide who are falling victim to propaganda.
“It’s amazing how effective propaganda can be, how blinding it can be to what you would think would be otherwise reasonable people,” Schmitt told Huckabee, adding, “I hate to say this but it feels like the Islamist crowd is winning this war of propaganda. It feels to me now that there is more of an anger and a fury towards Israel than there is towards the heinous things that we saw on October seventh.”
Right, so, according to Trump’s henchmen in his administration and in the right wing press, long-debunked atrocity propaganda about Palestinians is actually true, and it’s actually the people who think Israel is committing criminal acts who are propagandized, and it’s actually the people opposing genocide who are the psychopaths. Up is down, night is day. War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.
The western world is ruled by lying, manipulative criminals. Revolution can’t come soon enough.
