I appreciate your working through this. I think we best not leave out another group of religious folks, who began promoting Zionism back in the 16th century in England. I don't know how far back this group wants to go, but I'm all for studying Christian Zionism.
A new institute is being launched for the study of Christian Zionism

This is an important topic, given the numbers and strength of the support Israel receives from these people and organizations .See what they are doing, and support them if you think this is a valuable thing to be doing at this time.
As a side issue, it's also fair to note that Jerusalem was an international/universal city, that was the birthplace and special home for Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Until Donnie destroyed the system by moving the US Embassy there from Tel Aviv, after which the Israelis declared it their new capitol city.
Joy, if you want to spank me for not having researched all of this first, and for not having looked at the link you sent, I'll pull down my trowsers, and you can go ahead.
I will tell you that my understanding of why Christians support Zionism is that they believe that once all the Jews are back in whatever we want to call it, then the Messiah will come back, it will be the "End of Days," and whoever is supposed to go to heaven will go. So Christians want the Jews back in... Not for the benefit of the Jews, but for the benefit of the Christians.
