American evangelicals are rediscovering the Jewish roots of their faith, not hoping to dissolve Judaism.

Well summarized. In a way it's like searching out family histories of our birth ancestors, or the origins of the Funders that wrote our Constitution and influences upon it. Disolving the roots would be contrary to that exploration.

As well, there is a desire for them to accept Christ, no different then the desire for Non Jews to do so, and a belief they have a special purpose in God's plan. I suppose someone might throw in warnings about retaliation for their treatment as well, but that's never been a primary motivator for me or I suspect most Christians.

In any event, whether they accept Christ or not, fundamentally it is wrong to seek the destruction of their blood from the Earth as a Majority in the world are driven to do. For that reason alone I feel desire to protect the Jewish people and State of Isreal. It's a personal choice whether they worship Christ, or not, whether they worship at all, or not. Christians have no desire to strip them of that choice. But I don't support the KKK hanging blacks from dead tree limbs, and I don't support bigots killing Jews. Both practices are abhorrent. And if I feel a closer link to the Jewish people because of the roots of Christianity, so what? It only ensures I'm more driven to protect their right to live and worship without massacre.
