      And Jews, such aa myself. In fact, they’re already railing against the Jews even if they hide it behind “Soros,” “Globalists,” or other code words.

      And their “support for Israel” isn’t incompatible with their antisemitism once you realize that:

      1. This is because the evangelicals think Jews need to be running Israel before Jesus will return. So it’s for the evangelicals, not for the Jews.

      2. After Jesus returns, he supposedly will toss all Jews into hell. So it’s delayed antisemitism.

      3. It gives antisemites a “dual loyalty” trope to use as well as an expulsion plan. I’ve never been to Israel. I have no “loyalty” to Israel. I’m an American citizen and have lived in the US my entire life. However, many antisemites would love to ship me off to Israel or demote me to second class citizen simply because I’m Jewish.
