Then I’d say they’re not reading their Bibles. God is, shall we say, very big on Israel.

I suppose you have read the Bible more than Martin luther, Charles wesley, calvin, CS Lewis, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Karl Barth and Huldrych Zwingli.

Jesus was very big in the Bible on saying that Israel was to be utterly destroyed, which it was in the siege of jerusalem. It is now a secular pro LGBT country and some Christians think giving financial aid to a secular pro lgbt, pro abortion country supersedes the teachings of Jesus christ. Not once did Jesus mention this.

I’d venture to guess that figure is flawed by half as those saying their position is based on The Bible are lying. There is not that kind of adherence to The Bible in churches.

Respondents were asked about what has “influenced” their views about Israel and were given a list of responses that they could select all that apply. About 27% of Christians selected the Bible, suggesting that among 73% of respondents, the Bible does not inform their views of Israel.

Misleading excerpts. Context is king. In the actual survey, the overall context for the stats at subject is much that of opinions of current events which come from news.

Thus asking

“Which of the following have influenced your opinions about Israel?”

has the media as the top source, at 56%, versus the Bible at 27%. If I asked a women, what influenced your choices of clothes recently, the weather may come out over the Bible, though the later is most broadly definitive.

God is, shall we say, very big on Israel.

Not so much on Zionism though, I'll wager.

[Romulus]

That’s another Israel. The Bible has zero to say about the modern state of Israel.

My thoughts exactly. Maybe this 73% has little or no idea about what God says about Israel.
