Can someone explain why Israel is so important to them? Aren’t these the same people who are antisemic? Additionally, how does supporting Israel make the us a Christian nation?
For a lot of evangelicals and orthodox jews, they believe the Third Temple must be built at Temple Mount for the Messiah to return/come. Christians are a death cult and it's part of their eschatology to work towards those ends to bring about the Second Coming and the rise of New Jerusalem/Zion.
In terms of realpolitik Israel is a strategic foothold in an geographically important area rich with resources and trade routes.
Note that plenty of Christians reject these attempts to bring on judgement day just as many Jews reject the forceful invasion of the Holy Land to bring on a promised Jewish state.
Abrahamic faith is pretty clear on the decision of when to call judgement day to be solely in the hands of God and noone except God knows.
The American economy since WW2 has relied on funding and supplying armed conflict.
No other entity has supplied more justification for that end.
Evangelists odd profecies, but mostly lobbying. AIPAC.
Money, grifting, racism, indoctrination, etc... All the usual reasons that people would support fascism.
Plus heretics preaching this garbage to several religions.

The problem is that Hebrew Scriptures rejects the idea that Biblical Israel is in Israel state. Also 2nd Temple was not ruined according to Book of Daniel. But for so called 'Christian Church' it does not matter. Have you ever seen any christian pastor who try to read Hebrew Scriptures, analyze it or teach ancient Hebrew 'his sheep'? They rely on your ignorance.
