Considering all the above, it is little wonder that progressives hate Israel and Jews with such passion. Progressives believe they must despise whatever, or whoever, the other side loves. Evangelicals, i.e., conservatives, love Israel and demonstrate no bias against Jews? We must do the opposite! And so, in its zeal to disdain everyone and everything held dear by those believed inferior, progressives have revealed the fatal flaw in their reasoning. They preach love and tolerance yet exhibit neither. Instead, they are miffed to the point of madness by the notion that the God in Whom they seldom believe has deemed someone other than themselves as His elect. As Jesus Himself said to His disciples just before His arrest and crucifixion, ironically speaking of the Jews in the psalmist’s words that today find themselves used against Jews, “They hated Me without reason.” //

Jerry,

While I agree with your basic review of the reasons that evangelicals support Israel, I believe that the progressive opposition to Israel vigorously defending itself runs much deeper than the typical knee-jerk reaction of the progs that whatever conservatives/evangelicals are for they are against. Time and again, the progs have sided with pure evil in all of its forms but have successfully masked their true intent. The attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7 has ripped off the mask. Now the world can clearly see that the progressives stand for evil in the same way that after Nazi Germany attacked Poland the world could see what they were actually about. Progressives hate the Truth because the Truth comes from God whom they also hate. They are against any authority that claims to be above and beyond their reach. If you begin with that premise, it explains much of why they behave the way they do and what groups and causes they support. //

Progressives, by the way, fear and despise evangelicals because they actually fear and despise God. Progressives avoid the Holy Scriptures and prefer psychology because they don’t want to feel “judged.” Well, here’s the news, folks! It’s unavoidable.

Well said. It's like ignoring gravity and hoping you won't fall ...
