    I’m confused at the republican position on Jews, either they are evil and control everything or we are not doing enough to help them…

    It’s almost as if they don’t actually care about them and are just using them as a political pawn.

      That and the evangelical wing needs needs all the infinity stones in Israel or something so Jesus can be rebooted and kick off Final Crisis.

      Zionism and white nationalist anti-Semitism go quite well together actually. Even Hitler thought Zionism was a good idea for a while, get all the Jews out of Europe and the u.s. and onto the one barren patch of land in the Middle East without any oil so they can fight with the brown people they also hate is a pretty good “solution to the Jewish question” if you buy into all of that shit.

      It makes “sense” viewed from a fundamentalist Christian perspective. They don’t like Jews, but they also think the Jews reclaiming their homeland is a prerequisite to the rapture. There’s also supposed to be a mass conversion of Jews to Christianity.

      So if you accept all that, their behavior appears more consistent. If you accept all that, you might also be an idiot.

      I mean, wasn’t the modern state of Israel invented at least in part so antisemites would have a place to deport them to after it became gauche to kill them?

      Some of the nutjobs think their crazy eschatology requires Jews in Israel so that the character of Jesus can come back, condemn most of the Jews to hell and let the xtians watch all the unsaved, Jews included, suffer for all eternity.

      I mean, it is so obviously the dream scenario for total psychopaths (what kind of damaged mind imagines watching others suffer agonizing torment for eternity as a reward?), but these people will simultaneously say it’s all about LOVE, and about their superior “morality”, mannnnn…

      When was the last time they didn’t try to use something/someone as a political pawn? They’ve not tried to pass anything that actually helps Americans.
