What about Christian messianists?

Mr. Pipes, I too have argued that the left has abandoned Israel and that conservatives are better allies. Friends have challenged me by stating that the Christian conservatives are worse because they want all the Jews to return to Israel so they can be either converted or exterminated in some kind of messianic return. How would you respond to that? David A.
