Spot on. American political thought is heavily informed by premillenialist eschatology. Any attack on Jewish holdings in the holy land is tantamount to treason against American religious (and thus American political) sensibilities. This is why the Jew-haters are so frustrated in their attempts to turn the conservative 'tribe' on the Jews. They don't realize how they are prodding the 'tribe' to actually fight itself.
another point is that Zionism was designed to undermine and exploit this sensibility. they want Zionism = Judaism to act as a wedge to achieve their goal of destroying God's Moral Law.
I'm sorry what? America is a Christian nation. As in, centered around Christ. I'm not knocking Jewish people when I say they vehemently reject Christ, I'm just telling the truth. Israel is a holy place, yes, but the people who live there are just people. Not any more holy than you or me, and not above criticism, like anybody else.
Ah, first let me say I misread your comment before. I have no issue with Jews living in Israel and it being their homeland. I'm not some sort of "that's Palestinian land REEEE" leftist. My criticism for Israel is towards certain bad actors there, and their actions against my homeland.
But I'll bite. I believe Christ must return before we can have Christ's Millenia.
This is a profound aspect of the US psyche -- even more so for many Christians reading Revelation. The Jews have their part to play in what is meant to be, according to this belief. I was just pointing out how the prevalence of this belief among American conservatives has an effect on how Jews fit into our nation's worldview.
And frankly, Americans from the Pilgrims to the Founders lifted memes from the Jews. We're the Shining City on the Hill, singularly exceptional among nations and favored by God. That's all pretty damn Jewish, and you'd still have no shortage of mainline pedes who agree literally with it. And I'm wagering many of them would be the same pedes we see scorching the Jew-haters.

I just have a question: do you believe Jesus will come back before or after we have a thousand years of heaven on earth?
