    It's mostly how right-wing Evangelicals are extremely pro-Israel not because they care about Jewish people in any way, but because they firmly, religiously believe that when all the Jewish people return to Jerusalem it will trigger an apocalyptic war that will end with Jesus returning to earth. It is pure, wild eyed, horrific religion with no real material basis, but it drives billions of dollars and broad political support in to Israel's war machine. And Israel is happy to cooperate with them even though the Evangelical goal is basically "All the Jewish people go to Jerusalem, Jerusalem gets mega-nuked, Jesus returns."
