Speaking to Christian Zionist group, Florida governor and Republican US presidential candidate pledges support for Israel.

Washington, DC – Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, has reiterated claims that the West Bank is not occupied, suggesting that Israel should be able to continue to build settlements on the Palestinian territory without interference from the United States.

Speaking to Christians United for Israel (CUFI) on Monday, DeSantis underscored his pro-Israel bona fides, including his efforts to crack down on companies that boycott the US ally.

Keep in mind that Christian zionists see Jewish settlement of Israel as part of the prophecy of revelations / second coming of Jesus.

That’s why they’re so supportive of this

There is a deep irony in the fact that Israel's most rabid supporters in the west are also the most anti-semitic.

You can't make this stuff up.
