But environmentalism is much more philosophically grounded in its Anti-Semitism as it uses nature and/or nature worship to contrast itself with Jews and Christian who emphasize transcendentalism above nature. Environmentalism is a form of existentialism rooted in 1800’s Germany that was aimed directly at the Judeo-Christian worldview.

"But environmentalism is much more philosophically grounded in its Anti-Semitism"

Antisemitism has a very specific meaning. It does not mean being against a monotheistic God such as the one believed in by Christians, Jews, and Muslims.

It means thinking that Jews are inherently evil and/or subhuman because of their ancestry.

There are Jews that believe that fundamentalist Christians are antisemitic. For example, there are Jews that believe that the organization 'Jews for Jesus' is antisemitic.

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".

The two primary Germanic precursors of modern existentialism were Nietzsche and Kierkegaard. And I think most would suggest that they track closer to nihilism than existentialism.

I would be very interested in your research tying either one of these guys into the environmental movement as it exists today as part of Agenda 21, or any radical environmential movement for that matter.
