In point of fact, most of these whack jobs hate us as much as they hate Islam. They are just to afraid to say it. To obfuscate this hate, they conflate Judaism with support for Israel. Their Israel fetish is based upon the rapture – where all the Jews die.~David Hart~ If you want to see their views on Jews analyzed, I suggest looking up Fred Clarke’s review of Left Behind(the first one and his series on Left Behind: Tribulation Force). Clarke shows that as much as these people talk about Israel and Jews, they have devoted almost no time to learning what Jews actually believe, and they see Jews and Israel as little more than actors in their prophesy play.~Ruslan Amirkhanov~ These two quotes of course sum up the inherent and manifest hypocrisy of the entire Religious Right and the fundamentalist Christian worldview; groups and individuals once designated as mortal enemies (Jews and blacks) behind some non-existent communist plot to overtake America, are now their only hopes of new recruitment when they see their outsized influence and numbers in relative decline. They don't care about their interests on principle and just further hold these bloody shirts up to create Muslims and Islam as a scapegoat detrimental to society with no reason or logic applied to save the rest of us from their equally-dangerous themselves.

See, some Jews will "see the light" and convert to Christianity, because according to Evangelical Christians, all the Jewish prophesies point to Jesus as the Messiah. And all the Jews who are skeptical, and decide to continue being Jews...well...they die. I guess it's not so flattering after all.

But he's also a hardcore conservative evangelical. And that's good enough for most of these people. And since Reagan was behind Iran-Contra, they assume it was sent by God. Scary stuff. Ruslan,

Of course he did. But he’s also a hardcore conservative evangelical. And that’s good enough for most of these people.

Scary stuff.
