Quote by: Nono The answer is in the last paragraph of your linked article. These "Christian" wackjobs view Israel as a means to an end. It isn't that they 'like Jews' -- they don't. |
This is my understanding as well. Many fundamentalist Christians support Israel because the existance of Israel plays a vitally important part in the prophesies of Revelations and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, which they see as right around the corner. Israel and all the ongoing turmoil surrounding them play right into the prophecies of Armageddon, which, being devout true-believers, the Religious Right is eagerly awaiting.
