    Since when do conservatives hate Israel? The ultra-conservatives I know support Israel because they believe it’s a necessary condition to the apocalypse.

      Evangelicals support Israel as a matter of theological policy. The less evangelically-captured wing of the Republican party dislikes them because they're Jews.

        A lot of these hate Arabs more, tho. They're not exactly pro Israel, but they're so anti Palestine that they'll briefly tone down the Jew hating.
