Sometimes the deity moves in completely unexpected ways.
Right now, it looks like the whole world is ganging up on Israel, except for a few Western (American and European) holdouts, and even these are starting to waffle.
But the deity had a backup plan.
What America’s press has totally ignored is the radical transformation of Latin America.
In Brazil, the population is 31% Evangelical.
In El Salvador, the population is 40% Evangelical
In Guatemala, the population is 40% Evangelical.
In Honduras, the population is 40% Evangelical.
In Chile, the population is 18% Evangelical.
In Argentina, the population is 15% Evangelical.
While America ebbs in its support for Israel, and by extension: Christianity, Latin America is slowly turning to a serious embrace of Evangelicalism, with its concomitant love of Israel. Many of the governments are still leftist, but they are now strongly constrained by a large and growing pro-Zionist evangelical movement.
Guatemala completely identifies with Israel.
El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele has condemned Hamas, even though he himself is of Palestinian extraction.
Why? Because depending on the statistics – in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras – Evangelicals are either the largest religious demographic or on the cusp of becoming the largest demographic. Mighty Brazil is not far behind.
The change has been so rapid that even Wikipedia is not keeping up, with one Wikipedia page supporting old data, while another shows more recent numbers.
And this has consequences.
Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio "Lula" da Silva has moderated his views on the Mideast. He has to, or he would lose all support from the 31% of the electorate which is Evangelical. The prior president, Jair Bolsonaro, was completely in Israel’s camp. And it is unclear if Lula even won fairly. Bolsonaro may reflect Brazil’s true sympathies.

That's a Bible Belt.
The red states are still pro-Israel. The blue states are dropping out except for Jewish holdouts in places like New York and Los Angeles.
But the deity had a backup plan.
God doesn't have a "backup plan". He has a plan.
repeatedly talks of converting to Judaism
Those who do not have the Son cannot be said to have the Father.
yet they voted for a lib, versus as evangelicals do 74- 80%, from Bush to Trump.
Surprisingly there will soon be more Christians in China than in the USA.
God has NO “backup plans”. His Plan A is always flawless in both design and execution!
