Speaking to Christian Zionist group, Florida governor and Republican US presidential candidate pledges support for Israel.
Washington, DC – Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, has reiterated claims that the West Bank is not occupied, suggesting that Israel should be able to continue to build settlements on the Palestinian territory without interference from the United States.
Speaking to Christians United for Israel (CUFI) on Monday, DeSantis underscored his pro-Israel bona fides, including his efforts to crack down on companies that boycott the US ally.
Of course he’d say this; aside from being a dumb piece of shit, he believes the bible is meant to be taken literally and that Israel must be full of only Jews for Revelations to happen.
Holy fuck is that what these regressive dipshits care about Israel for? They want to see the creation of specific set of conditions for an apocalypse mythos, like some tribunal of cloaked doomsday cultists out of a cartoon?
Yes. Literally. Welcome to the group Christians United for Israel. Remember when you read “return of the Messiah” that to them this means the apocalyptic end of the world. And they’re hoping to cause it to happen. These cultists are so far out to lunch, and they were just in the White House. It’s terrifying.
"A critical issue for hardline Zionists and their Christian allies is the location of the ruins of the first and second Jewish Temples beneath the al-Aqsa mosque compound, the third most revered site of Islam. A fundamental tenet of the Christian Zionist theory is that a new temple be built upon those ancient ruins.
The Christian Zionists are vehement that this be done to fulfill prophecy. They believe that once construction of the new Temple is complete the return of the Messiah will be inevitable."
