Imagine how much more support Trump would have had if he told Congress that his wall would be in Israel. Of course we already subsidized theirs.

This is a definition of liberal that would exclude the majority of Democrats in congress.

TC's original post, post #7

And if you want to deny that the left generally hates Israel, you're just lying.

I think Bernie Sanders might be one of the most "anti-Israel" guys in congress and they call him a self-hating Jew because of it.

Politics these days is basically "we're not them."

Hypothetically, if the dems supported israel and the gop didn't have evangelicals on their back, it could be the other way around.

Probably one reason is that the majority of people in the world follow an Abrahamic religion.

But another reason is that hating religions, with the exception of scams like Scientology and cults is unproductive at best, even you disagree with their beliefs. And that goes for all people.

Best guess: they're our biggest Ally in the region that isn't overtly tense/hostile to us. Iirc there is also big spending going on there, either purchasing arms from us or getting aid in return for favors. Military-industrial complex shenanigans, can't remember what exactly.

Also, Jerusalem: old christcons probably wanna "protect the holy land" or somesuch

Finally: they're probably lobbied super hard by pro Israel groups, compared to Dems
___

Just a few explanations I could think of, anyone is free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't know or care why someone would consider supporting Israel is necessary to be a conservative. I support Israel for religious reasons.

It would be cool of you to answer my question, though.

It's hilarious to me that the right has managed to equate opposition to Israel's shitty policies to anti-semitism. I also oppose Saudia Arabia's shitty policies, does that make me anti-muslim? Obviously not.

In my experience growing up in the southeast, its because of Christian support of Israel.
Christians (where Im from anyway) tend to think of Israel as Gods chosen people.
They think that to not support Israel is to not support God basically.
Thats what I grew up hearing a lot of..
