I would like to take this opportunity to bring to your attention a belief held by some ~100 Million Christians.
I'm not a 100% sure of my facts so please do correct me, but this is how I understand it...
Evangelical Christians believe that in order for the 2nd coming of Christ to happen, Jews must rebuild the Temple Mount (currently occupied by the Rock Mosque one of Islam's most sacred places).
When this happens all out war will proceed between the Asians + Muslims and the Jews + Westerners.
The true Christians (Evangelicals) will be saved from this horrid war by Jesus, who will "Rapture" them from Earth to a heavenly world in the clouds.
During the war the world is put through a period of immense suffering and sacrifice, greater than anything before in history... called the Tribulation.
Then the anti Christ unites the world in piece under his sole evil rule.
Jesus then comes down from the heavenly world and defeats the anti Christ, ushering in a 1000 years of bliss.
Around 28% of Americans are Evangelicals... Evangelicals are those guys that preach at the crack of dawn... you know when your coming down off your high from the night before and you can't sleep, and all the good stuff on TV is finished.
They're ardent supporters of Israel cos they believe that the Jews must rebuild the Temple mount... and then convert to Christianity 2.0 or die.
So they're doing everything they can to cause conflict between the muslims and the jews. That's why the US will back Israel in everything it does... Cos the government is influenced by the Evangelicals and the Jewish lobbies.
Nuke Iran? Sure go right ahead.
Fake some or our passports and kills some people? Sure no problem.
Starve the poor Palestinians? Sure, bomb them too.
These actions are designed to inflame the situation, so Jesus will comeback when all hell breaks loose.
So strong Israel = Let rebuild the Temple Mount >>> Jesus comes back everybody (that's left) converts to Christianity v2.0.
