The majority of Americans are Protestant. There is a pillar of protestant Christianity that when Jesus returns in the second coming he will build a Temple in Israel and that will be the start of 1000 years of peace under Jesus Christ.

That is why these people will bend over backwards for them. They think they are protecting the world by protecting Israel and ensuring Jesus has a place to build his temple. Literal cult nonsense.

A slim majority of American voters support blocking weapon shipments and a large majority of Democrat voters do.

The problem with Biden shipping weapons is that it casts doubt on our "democracy".

As if the almighty son of God couldn't just set up a temple whenever and wherever he wants, gotta make sure the locals are on board. By any means necessary (White American Jesus loves that shit)

So instead, let's make sure the area is controlled by the people whose attitude towards Jesus is "eh, guy was alright, I guess. #NotMyMessiah" Not to say there should be another crusade for Christianity to retake the area and... shit, someone's probably planning that too, aren't they?

It being a crusade is precisely what the other comment alludes to, they're trying to "retake the holy land."

That it's Israelis on the ground doesn't matter that much, it's a Crusade-by-proxy at least.
