    Partly convenient geopolitical ally (the borders were carved of the region not long after WW2 with the enforcement of the Allied forces) and partly Dominionism where a certain subsection of Christianity, predominantly Evangelicals who are very politically motivated, believe that when Israel controls Jerusalem, the holy land, that is one of the portents of the predictions made in the Book of Revalations, ushering in God’s kingdom on earth and the end of time.

      Yep. USA pays money to support Israel in hopes of triggering Armageddon. Your tax dollars at work.

        The funny thing is they think the anti-Christ will unify “the holy land” and they’re still for it.

          Because the true believers (ie themselves) are allegedly going to get a bailout and will never actually have to deal with the apocalypse and its consequences. That’s our problem.

            But if they want the rapture to come why don’t they support “sexual perversions” that will also become widespread before the endtimes? I think I just made an argument for Christian nationalists to support pink washed Israel.
