    evangelical Christians in the West support Israel

    The church I grew up in in the '80s and early '90s went on about synagogues of satan and jews killing jesus, so I’m not sure that’s exactly true (or, perhaps more accurately, true of the government/inhabitants vs the place).

      Fundies supporting Israel as a means to immanentize the eschaton doesn’t imply that the same fundies aren’t also antisemitic.

        They supported some idea of Israel, but not a Jewish state of Israel, for their own ends. Yeah, rural Ohio where I grew up was full of antisemitism and racism (and in many places probably still is)
