This is a common conspiracy theory about Christian Zionism among liberal Jews, and of course liberals at large (who would include antisemites).

Gotcha.

Yeah I never heard of it described this way before.

I thought Christian Zionists believed Israelis to be the chosen people and Israel to be a fulfillment that the Jews would have their own land again.

And I might be way off on this.

I’m not well read on this topic.

I know at least some conservatives/Hasidic Jews aren’t big fans of Zionism either. Can’t see adding Christianity to Zionism will make it any better for them, ha.

My Jewish acquaintances get spooked by any mention of support for Israel by me. Being liberal, they don’t like Netanyahu either but at the local level (here in the South) they assume that Christian supporters of the Jewish state are either:

a. Bible-thumpers hoping to eat popcorn while watching the End Times unfold on satellite TV,

b. Racists who like it when the IDF beats up Arab Muslims (who want the extermination of the Jews),

c. Theocrats who want prayer reintroduced to public schools (one told me when she heard the words `school prayer’ that she also heard the crash of jackboots),

d. Militarists who during the 50th anniversary of the Six Day War cheered Israel’s victory as a victory for the West in general. And don’t speak of Gen. Moshe Dayan; he is only remembered as a “thief of antiquities”.

e. Rednecks who admire a successful warmaker (Dayan again). I made people cringe when I pointed out that anti-semitism took a nosedive in 1967 and good ol’ boys everywhere were cheering, “Well, great day! It looks like them Jew boys know how to fight!”.

And this month I listened to a distinguished professor under whom I once studied absolutely tear apart Netanyahu & Trump for keeping Omar and Tlaib from entering Israel and stirring up trouble. “They are members of Congress and should travel wherever they want!!”

WTF? Following that strident defense of Congressional privilege, I decided further discussion would accomplish nothing.
