Of course he'd say this; aside from being a dumb piece of shit, he believes the bible is meant to be taken literally and that Israel must be full of only Jews for Revelations to happen.
Holy fuck is that what these regressive dipshits care about Israel for? They want to see the creation of specific set of conditions for an apocalypse mythos, like some tribunal of cloaked doomsday cultists out of a cartoon?
Yes. Literally. Welcome to the group Christians United for Israel. Remember when you read "return of the Messiah" that to them this means the apocalyptic end of the world. And they're hoping to cause it to happen. These cultists are so far out to lunch, and they were just in the White House. It's terrifying.
"A critical issue for hardline Zionists and their Christian allies is the location of the ruins of the first and second Jewish Temples beneath the al-Aqsa mosque compound, the third most revered site of Islam. A fundamental tenet of the Christian Zionist theory is that a new temple be built upon those ancient ruins.
The Christian Zionists are vehement that this be done to fulfill prophecy. They believe that once construction of the new Temple is complete the return of the Messiah will be inevitable."

It depends on the Christian group, but yeah a lot are like that. Super creepy.
Personally I think they are all super creepy, some are just super-creepy about other stuff.
Eh. I am atheist, but brought up in a more liberal Christian church. The congregants never had much time for such nonsense.
You werent aware of that?
A lot of christofascists in America, especially American government, Think the state of Israel must exist for the end of days to happen, Which is why the US has such a twisted and insistent support for Israel.
Its literally a doomsday cult. Only they won't be raptured when shit hits the fan.
Yep. They want anyone not Jewish completely wiped out of Israel in the hopes of ushering in the End Times.
