"Are you saying all 2 billion Christians are deeply fanatical dangerous nuts?"

No. I guess your reading comprehension isn't too good, so I'll repeat myself. Sound it out this time: "All the Christians who REALLY CARE about [Israel's theological significance] are fanatical extremists." This refers to the 'Christian zionist' phenomenon, which is made up entirely of followers of the more apocalyptic Protestant denominations (e.g. Southern Baptists, Pentecostals, Jehovah's Witnesses), and the part about them being fanatical extremists is a simple statement of fact. Any faith that dwells on the 'end of the world' as a good thing merits questions as to the mental health of its followers, and this is where all of Israel's hardcore Christian support comes from.

These people are also George Bush's hardcore support, which no doubt explains why his tongue is always slapping up and down in Ariel's butt-crack. Without the massive electoral power of the Christian zionists working for it, Israel wouldn't have 1/10th the political clout in the United States.

What a lovely imperial triad this is: zionists, Christian extremists, and extreme-right corporatists. I call it the Axis of Stupid.

People from other categories of Christianity e.g. Catholics just don't give Israel that much thought. Aside from being a geopolitical doomsday bomb, it's just not that important.
