It's not just about being bought and paid for. You have to understand that a lot of folks on the right are true believers. Why is that? Because a lot of churches were captured with the concept of dispensationalism within the past hundred years or so.
A lot of these dispensationalists have been led to believe that Israel existing is a key to the second coming of Christ, so they are hell bent on making sure that Israel continues to exist. It all goes down to a convoluted series of versus pulled from the Old Testament combined with a rather convoluted interpretation of Revelation. They want to make sure that we are fighting on the side of Israel when their interpretation of Armageddon comes to pass because they believe God favors it.
Not only that, but many of them, despite calling themselves Christians, believe that God has a separate covenant for modern Jews that doesn't require them to profess faith in Jesus Christ to be saved.
There's a whole lot more to it than that, but suffice to say that dispensationalism has had far too great in effect on our foreign policy for too long.
I sum it up as basically saying that they're a doomsday death cult of heretics who need to be given the Emperor's Justice.
Normal Christians believe that Revelations is just a thing that will happen someday. Maybe not for centuries.
Evangelicals/Dispensationalists literally are trying to force the prophecy. Their entire existence is devoted to hoping that they can intentionally trigger the prophecy specifically so Jesus will come back and kill everybody so they can get Raptured. They're unhappy with the idea that it might not happen while they're alive to witness it. So they intervene and try to intentionally prop up their prophecy just to trigger the end of the world, because they think when Jesus comes back he's going to 'save' all the jews.
Not only that, but many of them, despite calling themselves Christians, believe that God has a separate covenant for modern Jews that doesn't require them to profess faith in Jesus Christ to be saved.
I remember hearing just a whisper of that when I was pretty young and being like "huh?". The fate of unrepentant jewish souls didn't particularly interest me, so I didn't follow it any further. I tried to tell my jewish friends that they should convert to Christianity, but it didn't go very well.

It sounds like some Warhammer 40K shit.
