And guess what, they just loooove the Jews. I have to make sure that I'm exposed to at a minimum of an hour a day to views I dont agree with, i.e. Spend time in FoxWorld, Rushland, and MarkLevin-land. I do it for several reasons, the 1st and most important is to ensure that I dont fall into a circular firing squad of megaphones and only be exposed to views that I agree with. Second, it's good to know what kind of BS is gonna be coming my way.
So what I'm seeing and hearing now, is that Republicans (not even sure I can call them that anymore. . .Nationalistic Party of ?) Anyways. . . They are going on and on about how much Democrats hate the Jews, and how much Republicans love them and are good to them.
Mark Levin was going on about how "Obama just absolutely hates Isreal, and loved Hamas and the PLO. Whereas the Republicans like Bush and Trump supporting Isreal, Trump even moving the new embassy.
So in some spider webbed wall of thumbtacks and yarn, it's impossible for a Republican to have shot those Jews at the Synagogue. There are even some talking of the Apocalypse because of the symbolism of the attack on the tree of life. It can get pretty surreal sometimes in there.
So be ready for the new lines from pundit "experts" on CNN, MSNBC, and other areas. I obviously left Fox news out of that last sentance because obvious is obvious. 😀

(1,975 posts)That I think it comes off to some people on the right as just "kinda goofy talk". I remember when he said that and like people were saying, "Did he just honestly say that?" That it flew under the radar.

Their opinions on the Jewish people and Jerusalem and everything else along those lines is limited to their death cult obsession with facilitating whatever is needed to bring about the end of the world according to their interpretation of the Bible.
Dont have to believe me, just ask one.

(8,750 posts)But their whole drive to re-establish Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is not because they care themselves but because they see that as necessary for a biblical apocalypse prophecy to occur.
Even the no one knows when will admit that. They see the anger and hurt caused by this change as a desired outcome because it is part of their prophecy.
That want it to cause death and mayhem.

(12,344 posts)Some evangelical Christians believe that God punishes nations which turn against Jews. It became a popular school of thought after World War II. They don't want to lose these people.

People like Hannity, Trump, Ingraham. . . it's very Old Testament in the way they support Isreal.
