"...the Evangelicals are more excited by that than Jewish people.”

Translation: "Christian people are better than Jews."

As journalist Gershom Gorenberg said in a 60 Minutes interview in 2009 regarding Evangelicals and the "End Times":

". . .They don't love the real Jewish people. They love us as characters in their story, in their play. . .If you listen to the drama that they are describing, essentially it's a five-act play in which the Jews disappear in the fourth act. . ."
