Anti-Israel Fake Evangelicals

I find this deeply disturbing. The sickest part is that this comes at a time when Christians are being horribly persecuted and murdered in muslim countries. So why are these Christian leaders attacking Israel? Why aren't they speaking out about muslim persecution of Christians?
