    There’s about 100 million evangelical christians in the US, and a LifeWay poll in 2017 showed that about 80% essentially considered themselves zionists. That’s 80 million. There’s 15.8 million jews worldwide. So the non-Jewish zionists outweigh Jewish zionists by a fair margin. Heck, they outweigh the zionist and the non-zionist jews taken together by a beefy margin, even.

      That’s an insane number. Must be a very broad definition of Zionist.

        oh no, statistics that challenge my world view! Quick, let’s not look into it at all and move the goal posts!

        Could you at least try to engage in this discussion? Or maybe come up with any evidence supporting your world view?

          A different definition of the term isn’t a different worldview. Also, not immediately spinning every exchange into an exhaustive debate isn’t a critical character flaw. Unlike being an insufferable ass about not getting the amount of attention you apparently feel entitled to.

          Though I would take look at that poll about 80% of Christians being “essentially” Zionists if you’d link to it.
