    No, because if we stop supporting Israel, there’s a non-zero chance they’ll go to someone worse for support, like Putin.

      …so your argument is that we should keep supporting a genocidal regime because they might go ask someone worse than us for help? “We need to help them kill innocent people or someone else might” is probably the worst take I think I’ve ever heard from someone outside of the republican party, and it’s a close one on that front.

        Pretty much, yeah, the Evangelical vote requires we maintain support of Israel because Jeebus could come back any day now, whoever alienates them is out, and fast.
