"Schnall, a rabbi, for appearing with the LGBTQ rainbow in a campaign ad. (Right-wingers hate both queer people and rainbows.)"

and plenty of them hate Jews.

They're all waving Israel flags right now though, curious.

Whether they know it or not, their evangelical pastors are all end-timers and believe that can only happen when all the Jews are in Israel. So their pastors tell them to support Israel, and they wave that blue star of David like there's no tomorrow. Since it has the bonus of opposing Islam (in their minds), it's all the easier to make the cognitive leap.

I learned my anti-zionism from Israelis while I was in Israel, and had it reinforced by the son of Iraqi Jews who was my boss for quite a few years.

But before any of that I was probably predisposed towards being pro palestinian solely because I knew evangelicals and why they supported israel.
