American fundamentalist and evangelical Christians, as a group. are supporting Israel in the Israel/Palestine conflict. They say they support Israel for Biblical reasons--that the return of the Jews to their homeland is a necessary precourser to the second coming of Christ.

What they don't talk about when they are making these quasi-political statements is the obvious--that they also believe all Jewish people (that is, the few who are left after the apocalypse) who do not convert will be condemned to eternal damnation because they are not Christian. Granted, they believe that all non-Christians (or, if they are like Pat Robertson, several Christians, too) will burn in hell because they do not hold peculiar fundamentalist-type beliefs.

What is interesting is that there is no vocal movement to expose this ridiculous, self-serving, bloodless hypocrisy.
