      supporting israel is not an indicator that someone doesn’t hate Jews. many right wingers want there to be a place only for Jews so they can conduct an ethnic cleansing and send all the Jews there. the thing to understand is that zionism and anti-semitism are not oppositional forces, but instead two different ways of saying that Jews have no place in their current places of being and need to leave

        yes. many of those “rightwingers” are jews and evangelicals. as allies. seeking the same validation from their overlapping theologies.

      Ah, that has NOTHING to do with Jews, but in support of a combination of fulfilling the conditions of the rapture as per Revelation and in support of zionism.

      Zionism is NOT analogous to Judaism. Only very tangential at best.

        Your distinction is no different than when others refer to current US administration as Christian. Is it or isn’t it? Depends on who you ask. People claim roles regardless of any meaningful adherence to their definition. You enjoy your split hair soup, but if you believe American Evangelicals are making a distinction between your beliefs, person-hood, or israel, i assure you, the majority are not. More. Further more, if you still think evangelicals hate Jews, try empathizing with a group we can all agree they hate. Gays. Women who need abortions. Then ask yourself, where are all the instances of hell-fire protests outside of the synagogues? It doesn’t exist. Evangelicals consider themselves allies of Jewish people.
