For some, it is their primary goal. They think the end times are near, and by escalating the conflict they hope to make it happen as soon as possible.
They support Israel because the Bible says that those that bless Israel is blessed. On the other hand, they think only some Christians will survive the end times, so any non-christians (jews included) that are hurt, doesn't really matter. It's just collateral damage in a holy war.
It is one of the reasons why this conflict is so special for many.
This is not a conspiracy, but a minority of evangelical Christians with access to lots of money that pays lobbyists. They don't even try to hide it, and you can read about this from traditional news sources that has covered this for years.
