Democratic Party drops "God" in its platform

However, I'd say it's actually weird to hear that zionism is actually a part of political platforms of parties in the US. I wonder why.

Because we strongly support the Jewish state and we stand with Israel. As far as we're concerned, Jerusalem is Israel's capital.

Yes, but I am asking why you support Jewish nationalism. Supporting the Jewish state is one thing, supporting their ideolgy is another.
As far as I'm concerned, the US is not a Jewish state, and was not founded by Jews either.
The fact that you have a Jewish minority does not mean that you ought to support a Jewish-exclusive ideology.

A third temple is required to be built on the temple mount in order to fulfull the rapture/end times fantasies longed for by fundamentalist Christians. The antichrist is supposed to announce himself as the savior in the rebuilt temple.

That is the reason why they support zionism, you say.

Considering that conservative Christians are the most ardent supporters of Israel, I would say it has something to do with the bible.

Well, not all, I'd say.
