    Right-Wing Christians

    Right-wing Christians, like Sarah Palin, are indeed anti-semitic. You cannot take their purported support of Israel at face value. The only reason they support Israel is because they believe if Israel is strong then the second coming of Christ is at hand. Their support of Israel has nothing to do with the Jewish people. It has everything to do with Christ returning to earth. Evangelicals believe that when Christ does return that all Jews will be condemned to Hell. And that is just fine with them. How is that not anti-semitic?
