The Sunday May 20, 2018, issue of the New York Times had a front page article, "Israeli Appeal to Evangelicals Stirs Backlash" by David D. Kirkpatrick, et al. The online edition has this title: "Israel and Evangelicals: New U.S. Embassy Signals a Growing Alliance"

These sentences caught my eye:
David M. Friedman, the American ambassador to Israel who presided over the embassy dedication, said evangelical Christians “support Israel with much greater fervor and devotion than many in the Jewish community.”
Anshel Pfeffer, author of a biography of Mr. Netanyahu, said in an interview. “... he sees the Republicans and the Christian evangelicals as being the real base of support for Israel in the U.S., rather than American Jews.”
Ron Dermer, the Israeli ambassador to Washington and a regular participant in events there to rally evangelical support, said that “devout Christians” were now the “backbone” of the United States support for Israel.
This is quite a difference from members of the American Jewish community who are anti-Israel, like the Jewish Voice for Peace that is pro-Palestinian.
