The weird thing is that the US far-right will often support Israel, even if they are Jewish, I think because they are seen as whiter compared to Arab people like Palestinians. And for fundamentalist Christians there is some prophecy about Israel bringing the end-times to save humanity or whatever.

It's amazing you that you don't see the stupidity of this comment.

Seriously? The far-right are called literal nazis, you know, the group that hated Jews so much they wanted them eradicated from the earth. It's an argument that completely falls apart when applied to actual scenarios, such as your comment. You think there are Americans that hate Jews so much they want them all dead, except when those Jews need support against another adversary that also wants them all dead? How can you rationally come to that conclusion? Like, nazis are putting their agenda on hold because there's darker people to go after? That's some pretty stupid thinking.

It's not a conclusion I reached it's a statistical fact. Look at who in the US supports Israel, I'm not just talking about Nazis but the right-wing in general, which includes Nazis, not all of them obviously, they support Israel for now but hope to eradicate them later. Look into radical Christian beliefs on Israel and the doomsday.

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
