Why is this happening? I really don’t understand the cross-section between the anti semite crazies and the pro Israel crazies, but apparently they overlap a lot. Always extreme right-wing on both.

They hate jews, but apparently some part of the bible says that one of the requirements for the end of the world, and them all getting vacuumed up to heaven, is a temple being built in Jerusalem, so they'll support Israel to try and get that done.

The second requirement is a huge attack on Israel so while they'll "support" Israel, they'll also sabotage any peace process and will encourage things like that settlers that cause more violence.

Also, they think that Jesus will return after the attack, take them all to heaven, and toss all us Jews into hell. This means that their "support for Israel" is really just delayed antisemitism. "If we act nice towards Israel for a bit then Jesus will doom all the Jews for us."

I'm Jewish so I'm definitely not an expert when it comes to Jesus. From what I know, though, the Biblical Jesus would be hanging out with people like Bernie Sanders and would only enter the evangelicals' churches to flip over some tables.

Also Israel beats up Muslims, which triggers the reptile side of the conservative brain
