    I don’t like the “the US supports Israel because evangelicals want the apocalypse!” explanation. It feels like a way for vote-blue-no-matter-who liberals to whitewash the Democrats’ unstinting support for Israel’s apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide.

      I’ve literally never encountered this off the internet & don’t actually believe that it is a real thing (beyond maybe dozens of people somewhere). But it is everywhere on the internet like it was an addition to the sermon of the mount or something.
