If the Palestinians had been the ones with a pivotal endtime role in our holy book rather than the Jews, the Jews would be anathema. That's what's wrong with this picture.

That doesn't make sense, Aliska. Given that the Jews have such a role doesn't make the Paraguayans anathema.

It makes sense to me. If the bible said that the Palestinians would win in the end, and figure in end-time prophecy, what side would they (evangelicals, fundamentalists, whatever) be on then (not necessarily all Christians)?

In other words, are they only backing Israel because they believe it fulfills bible prophecy? What if Israel got destroyed again? Would their fervor towards the remaining Jews grow cooler?
