You are correct with respect to the drift towards liberalism by the evangelical church. My question is: how.much of the anti-Israel sentiment is due to the rejection of dispensationalism and how much is due to the corruption of the overall culture. Alternatively, is the rejection a function of the corruption? I know of some very conservative Reformed believers who are not anti-Israel but who reject the re-establishment of that nation as a precursor to end times events.

Rather than the authority of the Bible, the anti-Israel or at least the pro-Palestinian drift among the young is mainly due to being baptized in the waters of the overall culture, thus they are liberal on even clearer issues:

That was in 2017! A Pew research pub. in 2022 is confusing to me as the totals do not add up.

And while among devout Bible disciples, there is some anti-Israel sentiment due to the rejection of dispensationalism (as rejection meaning the church is the full replacement for Israel with all the many promises made to Israel in the Bible are fulfilled in the Christian church, with all the prophecies in Scripture concerning the blessing and restoration of Israel to the Promised Land being spiritualized or allegorized into promises of God’s blessing for the church), and with some seeing this as the only way to reconcile prophesies, yet among some there is actual antisemitism, esp. among independent types who have a basic animus against authority. and how much is due to
