10. The ONLY reason evangelicals support Israel is they want it destroyed.

They want to usher in the "Armageddon" or the "final battle" or some such other ridiculous Buy Bull BULLSHIT.
Trust me, the fanatical Christians hate the Jews almost as much as the Arabs do.....

So the hatred and bigotry and religious inspired violence will go on and on and on......because there is no "final battle" coming. At least not in the next 1 million lifetimes. Humans will go extinct before there is peace in the ME.

When Iran gets the bomb (Thanks Dotard...you stupid fuckwad) and strikes Israel, they will retaliate and the whole world will end up burning. The planet will survive..........AFTER humans are ended.

It's all so fucking pointless.......
