It seems to me a lot of the frankly non-sensical support of Israel in the US (to the point of condoning human rights abuses) stems from christian fundamentalists. Dominionists who truly believe that once Israel is “made whole” and the temple is rebuilt, the end of the world can start. They don’t care about climate change. They don’t care about human rights. They don’t even really care about the well being of Jews.
To them the Jews are a linchpin in catalyzing the rapture, and then Jesus’ 10,000 year kingdom. These are people who don’t care about making the world a better place through their own efforts. They want to destroy it. Because they believe their god wants the world destroyed.
And they have, to me, terrifying power in US lawmaking. They are running for president right now. And they have no one’s best interests at heart.
They’re really no different than the people in Daesh.
