Western support for Israel has always been an antisemitic thing - Christian Zionism has always been based on the virulently antisemitic idea that Jewish people “do not belong” in “western civilization” and should be “sent back where they came from.”
Virulent antisemitism and rabid support of Israel goes together like horse and carriage.
There’s also the delayed anti-semitism of evangelical Christians. They think that Jesus will come back when a Jewish-controlled Israel suffers a huge attack. Then, as Jesus pulls them all to heaven, he’ll toss all of us Jews into hell for all eternity. By “supporting Israel,” the evangelicals think they are setting Jews up to burn in hell as soon as possible.
This is also why evangelicals are big supporters of groups like the settlers. After all, they need a big attack on Israel and peace in the region would reduce the chances of this happening. If they added a few gallons of gas to the raging fire there, though, they might be able to get things so bad that the “Jesus Returns Attack” happens.

Omg, it’s so obvious now, I don’t know why I didn’t put this together before.
“We better defend Israel because we don’t want em here.”
Jesus H. Tap-dancin’ Christ…
