Why is the US so dogmatically Pro-Israel?
Actually, I’m pretty sure I know. I think it’s probably based on three things 1) a misguided and irresponsible zionism found in many forms of evangelical Christianity (which are influential in the religious right), 2) a built-in, left-over guilt from … Continue reading
