When was the last time an evangelical blew himself up and took other people with him to slay the non-believers?
Evangelist do not need to blew themselves, they use remote control. However, how bigoted can you get?

People blowing themselves up has not really bothered me. Low tech precision guided weapons. If a US soldier did something equivalent we would have a big ceremony and talk about what a great hero he/she was. We would just make the emphasis different ... he died to save the lives of others and call it a great act of heroism. Bush would have a photo op.

The relationship between evangelicals and Israel I find bizarre. If you're an Evangelical, the Jews end up in one and only one place ... hint: It's not heaven. Jeffrey Dahlmer stands a better chance of getting to heaven than a rabbi does.

The reason why Evangelicals support Israel has to do with Revelations. Evangelicals want an Israel because it's a necessary prophecy for the End of Days. At which time the Evangelicals shoot straight to heaven and the Jews stay down to go through the Mother of all Holocausts before they eternally burn in hell. [Review what Pat Robertson said after Sharon's stroke for a not so subtle hint.]

To make a metaphor. The Jews want to have a nice vacation [live in peace in Israel] and the aides to Hitler [the Evangelicals] are offering to subsidize train tickets to Dakau. The Jews accept the help because they need all the help they can get and will worry about the second part of the plan later.

P.S. I'm not sure how Messianic Jews fit into the Evangelical big picture.
