They need to support Israel now because it’s needed for their “end of the world” scenario. That’s when Israel gets destroyed to save the Christians. lack of support for Israel translates to antisemitism to these folks. They need to support us till they need to destroy us.

Has it ever occurred to anyone to point out to the Christian evangelicals that their practice of pumping millions of dollars into West Bank settlements and the like, is actually impious? The CE’s are doing it, not because they love the Jews or support Israel; they are doing it to foment strife in the region. They are hoping that by funding the West Bank settlements things will get so bad that Armageddon will break out.
It’s a curious route to the Second Coming. It’s impious because they believe they can force God’s hand. They can bring about Armageddon on their schedule, not God’s. God, and Jesus, for that matter, have been reduced to a jack in the box. CE funding of the settlements and Israeli hard line policies in the area, are the hand that turns the crank on the side of the box:
Round and round the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel ...
POP! And up pops God, and Jesus with his host of Angels and terrible swift sword, and whatever else they ascribe to him.
Aside from the absurdity of the entire scenario, doesn’t it strike anyone but me that this is impious beyond belief? The idea that you can create a set of circumstances on Earth so dire that you can force God to appear? God??!!?? Since when did God become a lapdog for humanity to order around? To suggest that you can make God do your bidding, so that you and your bitch wife and ugly kids can get your heavenly reward ahead of schedule strikes me as being the sort of impiety that demands Divine retribution. Just sayin’.
Not positive religion or piety has anything to do with these folks’ world view. They believe the rules/laws only apply to us. They are shockingly immature, toxically angry, & scarily under educated & under informed. They create the answers they want/need & then create the narrative to back it up.
My biggest fears are that not enough of the rest of us are cognizant of the danger our democracy is in & that the middle & left will fall back into our traditional circular firing squad, while forgetting the big picture of needing to save American Democracy.

Well that, and the fact there are ultra Orthodox Jews who occupy the West Bank for their own nefarious reasons!
true. And the Ultra-Orthodox Jews are anti-Zionist, even in Israel. My head, it spins
