    Evangelicals have always thought so, Israel is the holy land so they feel they need to protect it. Caveat for Israelis is that evangelicals don’t need the people, just the place. In their perfect heaven, everyone except the white, western Christians are in hell and they live in Jerusalem with god. I grew up in this insane shit, it’s wild.

    The main problem with Iran and Arab countries comes down to loyalty. A Shia person who follow Khamini as a spiritual leader is not loyal to his own country but to the Khamini. Imagine catholic who would see the Pope as their leader. These people would be willing to go to prison for their cause.

    In the US the evangelical / end of life teaching has been going on for many years, it is a slow indoctrination that no one dare to stop under hate speech. If you open a local religious radio channel in the US and listen you see two or three points iterated over and over. Abortion, Israel, and the second coming. These are christian radio channel.

    Who fund them? Why this is not a hate speech? Can an Islamic radio channel do the same to create an Islamic State?

    US is failing to a simple and effective trap of extremism that benefit zionist and kills US Soldiers.

    Now if a new government that anti hate speech and any form of extremism comes to power, most likely, Zionist through their puppets, will advocate for the murder of such government, basically, issuing a fatwa for their followers.
