Good piece by @michellegoldberg.bsky.social. Points out is that the right-wing gets more of a pass on anti-semitism as long as they indicate support for Israel. For example, Robinson declared an "Israel solidarity week" when his anti-semitic comments were aired. www.nytimes.com/2024/03/07/o...
Opinion | We Need to Talk About This Republican Candidate’s Antisemitismwww.nytimes.com Mark Robinson has a history of anti-Jewish conspiracy theories. His party doesn’t care.

The most hateful anti-Semitic folks are Christian Evangelicals who support Israel. They don’t support Israel because they believe in a Jewish state or safe homeland, but because they believe the existence of Israel is necessary to expedite the return of Jesus and the rapture.

They literally only support Israel BECAUSE they believe we should all die. I swear this should be common knowledge but then all too often I find that mostly only other Jews understand this.

They love Israel... ....but hate Jews

FUH. KING. THIS. Thank you.

so bizarre, since their solidarity with Israel is because they think it's necessary to usher in the end days.

Also, that both sides of this exchange believe its impolite to bring up the "support-is-premised-on-you-being-erased-before-the-rapture" subtext

I often wonder why they're not concerned that their military support for Israel is delaying the Rapture. Maybe it would have been destroyed by now
