    Having grown up in evangelical Christianity, I don’t quite understand the attack on liberals here?

    Zionism is a major part for the conservative manifesto to create the New Jerusalem to bring forth the return of Jesus. Evangelicals view Jews as reluctant Christians yet to accept their king.

      lefties love to hate on liberals for whatever reason. Even though the definition of liberal is not very specific and encompassing.

      I still haven’t quite figured out why. Idk if people just don’t broadly understand the definition of liberalism in a political context, or if it’s just “hurr durr not lefty bad” shenanigans.

      on another note, if anybody in the comments has any expansive explanation to this, please, indulge my curiosity.

      It has been a political wedge issue used as a weapon by conservatives. Liberal buy-in to zionism is its primary support system.

      Liberals support Israel because of Cold War propaganda labeling. That evolved into the good guys versus terrorism propaganda we have now, which blinded us to things like stealing land, the blockade, interfering in elections, and indefinite detainment without charges or trial. It was all hand waived because “terrorists”. But in reality it was the only way left for them to try to defend their sovereignty.
