As an American myself, I’ve asked several people this question. No one seems to know why either. Is it strategic position in the world? I don’t think they have anything the US can exploit besides that really. Am I missing something? Political arguing aside what exactly is the motivation? Thanks for any explanations.

    Evangelicals look forward to the rapture. I’ve been to a lot of Evangelical churches, and, without exception, they want it to come.

      Well yeah, if that comes then they’re proven right and they get to go to heaven while all the “bad” people stay here.

        You communicated that part badly, your comment looks like you are saying it’s false and the only reason people believe Evangelicals want that is because of AIPAC.

          You read that point badly and assumed that what I was saying that the reason Evangelicals want this is because of AIPAC.

          See how that works?
