Evangelical support for Israel serves an apocalyptic religious vision rather than Jewish interests

Evidence

In short, race, racelessly conceived in relation to and through religion, steers the interests of geostrategic positioning. Evangelical Christianity can seek superciliously to satisfy its own apocalyptic vision while asserting its support for Israel. Their sharing a mutual goal is predicated on a putatively common heritage, religious and cultural, evidence of America’s distance from its own antisemitic history. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 596
