This is why learning about religions is important...
Not so much to "learn" from the religion, but to learn how that religions follows tend to think.
For this brand of Christian extremism, they're trying to make the rapture happen. Because that happens at the start of Armageddon, they're trying to start Armageddon.
To do so:
The area that is modern day Israel needs to be ethnostate controlled by the Jewish faith.
They need to enter a religious war against all their neighbors, none of which can be Jewish nations.
The Jewish nation gets wiped off the map by "heatens", meaning not Jews or Christians.
Everyone the right specific flavor of Christian (extremists Protestants) gets called up to heaven, and it's heavily implied they will get to watch everyone else suffer for enterity on "hell on earth" like some fucked version of Squid Game.
That's why I fully believe trump was manipulated into starting this, everyone in on this scheme told him it would be an easy win and to kick up shit, knowing it won't.
And once it's "hot" enough over there, they're gonna get trump to do a full withdraw with no notice to cause chaos. It's likely what happened with Afghanistan too.
The end goal is Israel being wiped out, they just had to make Israel feel like they had enough back up to start wars with all their neighbors at once.
Like, their "Armageddon clock" is seconds to midnight, and I wouldn't put it best them to have trump toss a nuke on his way out to ensure Israel gets fully wiped to fufil the prophecy.
But back to the beginning:
We desperately need to solve the religious extremist issue, and just getting rid of trump wot solve shit. Everyone will just go back to ignoring the real shit till they try again.
