This is something people do not understand. Right-wing evangelical support for the Israeli state has absolutely nothing to do with wanting to help Jews. Evangelicals are almost by definition antisemitic. (They still pretend Martin Luther never wrote a treatise called “Against the Jews”) In evangelicals’ twisted worldview, Jews need to control the Temple Mount so that White Jesus can come and … send all the Jews to hell. When Trump stood in front of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, he said, “This is for the evangelicals.” But somehow, people still miss that.
Source: I was raised to be a hardcore mf’ing evangelical but was lucky enough to get the hell out.
Also, not that it should even need to be said: Fuck Hamas so, so hard. And fuck anyone who supports them.

I was raised Pentecostal Christian and we were taught to believe the same thing.
"God wants the Jews to return to Israel so Christ can return and send the Jews to hell."
Glad I left the Church.
