WHY DO LEFTY PROTESTANTS HATE ISRAEL?
LET IT be understood that the entire left wing of the Protestant mainline establishment is hostile to the very idea of a literal fulfillment of the biblical promises to Israel. It contests Israel's future restoration, as well as the promises of the Millennial Kingdom and a reigning Messiah.
In fact, a literal, resurrected Jewish Kingdom is wholly beyond mainline Protestantism's concept of what new world theology is all about. It considers the Scriptures antiquated, unacceptable and pass , and contends that those who believe and accept the Scriptures as written are ignorant, uninformed, and far removed from contemporary realities.
For such Protestants, the biblical promises, themes, pronouncements and mandates are old and irrelevant. Biblical revelation for them is an aberration - particularly when it touches Israel and the Promised Land.
Logically speaking, it doesn't make sense for objectively sane people to portray little Israel as a militant, "apartheid state" panting to commit genocide against innocent Palestinians. Consequently, the bottom line must be something else. In my opinion, it is what I term theological anti-Semitism. Israel's very existence is an intolerable offense to people who allegorize and spiritualize God's Word and attempt to impose on it the theology that the church has replaced Israel as the true heir of Abraham.
