    Because the US is full of Christian zealots who believe that when the Jews manage to rebuild their temple, armageddon happens and they all get to go to Heaven.

    They are actively cheering on WWIII and the deaths of billions over a 2000 year old work of fiction. And are neglecting to mention that this Jewish country they all support will be bombed into dust for their messiah to return.

    Christian Zionists belong to a death cult and the fact that they have so much influence over an allegedly secular government is gross.

      The part they don’t say out loud is that they also believe that all the Jews in the world have to live in Israel after the temple is rebuilt. Meaning expelling Jews from the U.S. and all other countries other than Israel.

      It’s also full of very influential Jews. While the evangelicals are certainly one major driving force, let’s not underestimate the intra-group pressure that Jews in the west apply to one another to conform.
