Zealots are inherently susceptible to delusions that feed into their anti-Pal hate. Anyone can belong to this cult, in the U.S. there are a few million zionist evangelical christians who believe that bloody Armageddon leading to rapture will occur when the Chosen State takes full control of its historical lands. As with most if not all cult members, they lash out with abuse and ad hominems when their version of reality is questioned.
