...NEED the state of Israel to exist for only one reason - it's a huge part of the jigsaw puzzle of the coming of the end times.  There MUST be an Israel in order for Jesus to return.  That's why they're such staunch advocates for Israel.  Republicans don't want Iran to get nukes because if Iran blows up Israel - boom, there goes Bible prophecy.  As for the Jews themselves, thumpers don't give a flying fuck about them because they think Jews are going to hell anyway if they don't convert.  
   
 Israelis know this all to well and have been humoring thumpers for many years, all the while taking their money and encouraging thumpers to keep believing in the Book of Revelation.  Israelis always laugh at the thumpers behind their backs, and rightly so.  
   
 On Saturday, 60 members of the RNC are going to Israel to hopefully spend lots of tourist dollars.  The trip is being funded by the American Family Association, an organization that has been labeled a "hate group" and "extremist group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center.  By so publicly aligning themselves with the AFA, the GOP is saying: "Yeah, we're Christians and we don't give a fuck about anyone who isn't!"
