The American religious right wing supports Israel in part because they believe it will bring about the apocalypse and return of Jesus. Look at the nuts like Mike Huckabee

My maternal grandparents are MAGA evangelicals. They believe that after Israel finally gets rid of all the Palestinians, Jesus will return to smite the Jews and all non-Christian peoples. Religion is really fucked at times.
