Yep. The right will never admit it of course but a lot of their attacks on FDR and the New Deal and FDR’s foreign policy were rooted in Anti-Semitism. And you’re absolutely right about the right today when it comes to Jews and Zionism. It’s not based out of a real genuine respect or support for the Israeli people. It’s this rapture fantasy. If their scripture said otherwise, they’d be openly hostile to Jews.

Read Left Behind (or Fred Clark’s chapter reviews).

Tim LaHaye is a Bircher as well as a Rapture believer, and his huge influential book smashes together the former’s international socialist banker conspiracy with the latter’s “Chosen People who aren’t really chosen anymore because they killed Jesus.” Then it throws in some old fashioned stereotypes just to be thorough.

It’s beyond cringeworthy. Jaw-dropping. Would be blackly comedic if people seriously didn’t think this way.
