Their reasoning is that some fundamentalist Christians believe that Judaism is a feeble attempt at approximating Christianity rather than a full-fledged religion with its own history.

Some Zionists might welcome the support of fundamentalist Christians in their efforts to expand/reclaim Israeli territory or to rebuild a synagogue on the temple mount. But I imagine the Zionists view this as a sort of "deal with the devil".

How are you defining "fundamentalist Christian"?
