That not a mainstream Christian view, in fact it's very fringe view and you don't have to 'over-intellectualize' (whatever that means) to realize that.

> I suppose it’s up to you if you’d like to believe that 1) Evangelicals don’t believe what they claim to believe

or option 3: don't believe what you claim they believe (the 'extremely broadly' bit anyway). There are plenty of more sensible religious, political and other reasons which explain widespread support for Israel.
