Keep in mind that Christian zionists see Jewish settlement of Israel as part of the prophecy of revelations / second coming of Jesus.
That’s why they’re so supportive of this

There is a deep irony in the fact that Israel's most rabid supporters in the west are also the most anti-semitic.
You can't make this stuff up.
they are a means to an end, necessary for the genocidal apocalypse that christians slaver over
Of course he'd say this; aside from being a dumb piece of shit, he believes the bible is meant to be taken literally and that Israel must be full of only Jews for Revelations to happen.
Holy fuck is that what these regressive dipshits care about Israel for? They want to see the creation of specific set of conditions for an apocalypse mythos, like some tribunal of cloaked doomsday cultists out of a cartoon?
Yes. Literally. Welcome to the group Christians United for Israel. Remember when you read "return of the Messiah" that to them this means the apocalyptic end of the world. And they're hoping to cause it to happen. These cultists are so far out to lunch, and they were just in the White House. It's terrifying.
"A critical issue for hardline Zionists and their Christian allies is the location of the ruins of the first and second Jewish Temples beneath the al-Aqsa mosque compound, the third most revered site of Islam. A fundamental tenet of the Christian Zionist theory is that a new temple be built upon those ancient ruins.
The Christian Zionists are vehement that this be done to fulfill prophecy. They believe that once construction of the new Temple is complete the return of the Messiah will be inevitable."

It depends on the Christian group, but yeah a lot are like that. Super creepy.
You werent aware of that?
A lot of christofascists in America, especially American government, Think the state of Israel must exist for the end of days to happen, Which is why the US has such a twisted and insistent support for Israel.
Its literally a doomsday cult. Only they won't be raptured when shit hits the fan.
Yep. They want anyone not Jewish completely wiped out of Israel in the hopes of ushering in the End Times.
This is world news, you have a potential president denying Israelite occupation of West Bank despite overwhelming evidence of Israel building settlements in the territory.
He is not denying that they are building settlemens. He just doesn't consider it occupation. Anything for more donors, I suppose.
Hes desperate because of faltering campaign funding if other reports I've seen are true.
