> Because rebuilding the temple would trigger a regional war
Ah because there isn't already one, and Israel is not the only one armed with nuclear weapons and its unwavering ally is not the dominant world superpower?
> despite people actually believing these things, they find it much harder to put into real logical action
Yet they don't find it hard at all as long as it aligns with Israeli interests.
> My theory explains both the rampant anti-semitism throughout the GOP
This part I miss. Where is the rampant antisemitism in the GOP? Last time I checked, the prime minister of Israel is always welcomed in the US (especially by the GOP) as a demigod. All advisors and mediators for Israel Palestine and the middle east are Jewish. Antisemitism is Trump's justification for all repression. What are you talking about?
> It's not random at all: there's a clear lineage between evangelical and Jewish belief systems.
LOL. It's random in the sense that you keep insisting that there is no causal connection between Israel's interest and the support it receives. Somehow for some lucky coincidence they get a lot of money and privileges but hey, they've nothing to do with it!
Well I understand why you’re confused about GOP anti-semitism because you’re clearly not American, so your read on American culture and politics is a little janky to say the least.
When did I say there’s no causal connection between Israel’s interest and the support it receives?
Again: not a lucky coincidence! It’s the furthest thing from a coincidence.
But it’s also not because the GOP loves Jews.
Are you reading the words in front of you? Because it seems like you’re responding to comments that only you can see.
> here are a half dozen examples or so of anti-semitism within the upper ranks of the GOP
I checked the article and I don't see any upper ranks of the GOP mentioned. Carlson is a media personality, Fuentes a far right influencer completely outside of the GOP, the Young Republican leaders are junior activists. The article actually reports of Republican Jewish Coalition leaders (such an antisemitic party!) lamenting an explosion of antisemitic episodes- which of course serves to justify even more censorship of voices critical of Israel within and without the party.
