The same chunk of population "should" (??) think that the Israeli ancestors killed Jesus, and that the Jews will go to hell if they don't accept Jesus as their savior - so - people are weird.
Surprisingly, it's internally consistent. Evangelical Christians don't support Israel because they like the people who live there. Instead, they support Israel because, based on their interpretation of Revelation 20, they believe that Israel must be rebuilt or restored as part of God's plan for the end times.
This story does not end well for Israel or the people who live there.
They do; they have other theological reasons for supporting the State of Israel, despite often not being very well inclined toward the Jewish people or Judaism as a religion.
I am not no expert on the American evangelical version of Christianity so happy to hear better explanations, but not all evangelicals believe the same things so I do not think there is a reason to say they "should" believe those things. The argument that God's covenant with the Jews is still in effect implies the opposite, if anything.
Well in that case they "should" also believe that Jesus was Jewish just like the Israelis of today, no?
If Israelis are blamed for killing him they should also be praised for creating him.

It looks to me that it is correlated with whatever this survey defines as "traditionalist": https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2005/04/15/american-eva...
Traditionalist applies across denominations with different traditions and theology so no idea whether it has a consistent meaning.
