Can someone explain why Israel is so important to them? Aren’t these the same people who are antisemic? Additionally, how does supporting Israel make the us a Christian nation?
Evangelical Christianity is a death cult predicated on Israel's existence and eventual destruction.
All those Christian "friends of Israel" long to see every Israeli dead. Because that means the end of the world. White Jesus comes back. A horn is blown. World War ending specifically in fire. Not a flood this time cuz God pinky swore not to.
And everyone except for 144,000 of the most insane Christians is damned to hellfire for all eternity. Jebus rebuilds heaven on Earth.
That's the whole story. From an Exvangelical who was raised in this snake-fuckingly crazy nonsense.
I.e. simultaneously zionist and antisemitic
Only accidentally Zionist. They don't actually believe that Jewish people have a right to Israel so much as they believe that Jewish people need to inhabit Israel to fulfill Christian prophecy.
US evangelicals are treating an entire ethno-religious group as means to their desired end. It's disgusting.
Lol, imagine someone attacks Israel with a nuke, triggers an entire nuclear armageddon, and the whole world is englufed in "fire and brimstone," and the crazy mother fuckers were right all along.
That is literally the plan. It's why Israel has nukes. Those open secret nukes everyone knows about that don't officially exist.
Edit - Its why we're so antagonistic towards Iran. The psychos want to bait Iran and Israel into full scale war hoping one of them will kick start the apocalypse.
This sounds insane because it is insane.
It is also true. They don't even try to hide it. Do they still have a weekly show about it on TBN?
If they want every Israeli dead, then why are they trying to save Israel? Maybe a better question is, do they want the end of the world now or is it this something they want to look forward to?
Because it has to be destroyed the right way at the right time. Cuz "Prophesy" and shit. There's shit that needs to happen first. Like a big fancy temple has to be built.
If Israel was destroyed before that they'd have to start this whole colonial project over again.
For a lot of evangelicals and orthodox jews, they believe the Third Temple must be built at Temple Mount for the Messiah to return/come. Christians are a death cult and it's part of their eschatology to work towards those ends to bring about the Second Coming and the rise of New Jerusalem/Zion.
In terms of realpolitik Israel is a strategic foothold in an geographically important area rich with resources and trade routes.
The American economy since WW2 has relied on funding and supplying armed conflict.
No other entity has supplied more justification for that end.
Evangelists odd profecies, but mostly lobbying. AIPAC.
Money, grifting, racism, indoctrination, etc... All the usual reasons that people would support fascism.
Plus heretics preaching this garbage to several religions.
