Not so. The US has important “geopolitical” reasons for supporting Israel, but those are not the only reasons - or even the most compelling - for supporting the Jewish state.
In fact it may be argued with some slight validity that supporting Israel is against the “geopolitical” interests of the US. I don't believe that, but I admit an argument can be made for that position.
Never read a word of John Darby or John Scofield and their opinions mean nothing to me. I do my best to ignore Mr Hagee. Please detail for me the “clear teachings” of the Gospels and the Epistles that forbid Christians from supporting Israel. I've read both several times and never reached that conclusion to any degree whatsoever. Prophesies that give the land the Jews and predict the reestablishment of Israel may be opaque to you, but they are clear to me and many others. Moreover, the Gospels and the Epistles are the most important parts of the Bible for Christians, but those sections are not the only parts. The Bible for Christians should be as seamless as Jesus’ cloak.

It is universal Christian teaching among Catholics, East Orthodoxy, and all Protestant denominations founded prior to John Darby that the Jews who followed their Messiah, and those Gentiles who joined them, were the sole inheritors of the Abrahamic blessings. Any who reject Christ are "broken off" from the tree of Israel until they return to the fold by faith. DNA without a reciprocating faithfulness to the Covenant counts for nothing.

Re-read the prophesy at the top of this thread and the worldly interpretation which directly contradicts Romans 11, Matthew 3:9, Luke 3:8, John 8:33, etc., etc., etc.
