Your comment is a common fallacy. Christian conservatives are "friends" with Israel, not because it has a bomb, and not for what you imply is a "common hate of" 'Arabs/Muslims' (though I am sure some do), but rather because they "need" Israel for their apocalyptic fantasies. They don't give a shit about Israel and certainly don't give a shit about Jews. However, it is this alleged "union" which is often an excuse for some to dismiss or ignore anti-Semitism.
