Yes. Read my other posts. Evangelicals are happy to tell you about this stuff when Israel isn't murdering thousands of children on TV

What myth? Are you disputing the wapo article with the poll showing half of evangelicals self report that they support Israel bc they believe it's necessary for the rapture to occur?

Yes. I am disputing a wildly anti-evangelical news source and it’s badly interpreted crap poll entirely. It’s hogwash. Horse crap. Lies. Balderdash. Rubbish. Baloney. Malarkey. Propaganda for useful (or useless) idiots and if you’ll pardon my French it’s bullshit. That’s all.

I know Cam is trolling with this "Israel murdering children" nonsense; but the assertions about American evangelical support for Israel are not completely baseless. John Hagee is very popular evangelical minister who speaks often about the need to protect God's chosen people in the state of Israel. He is well-connected in social conservative GOP circles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christians_United_for_Israel

While it's true that John Hagee is influential, saying he's at all representative of all "American Evangelicals" as a whole is like saying Kendi or DiAngelo are representative of all "American Democratic voters."

In typical US Evangelical culture, your average Christian is more likely to think of Jews as "religious cousins" who are sticking up for themselves against a bunch of regional bullies. The Fifth Column discussed this exact thing on their recent episode with Mary Katherine Ham, if you're more inclined to believe them than us here in the comments.

Ok so why do evangelicals almost unanimously support Israel...a religious ethnostate of a religion which OPPOSES their religion in the same way that Islam does. Why not such huge support for Saudi Arabia and the city of Mecca?

Ps you should quit now bc I'm going to trick you into agreeing with me and you're going to look dumb

Total bullshit. Does Israel kill people who refuse to accept Judaism? Fact check: NO. In fact, Judaism expressly forbids proselytizing. Islam, on the other hand, offers infidels three choices: conversion, second-class citizen status if they're lucky, or death.
