Behind the BastardsOct 3, 2026
The sources support the claim only under loose estimates of Christian Zionists in the US: Al Jazeera cites an academic figure of more than 30 million, and Political Research Associates says tens of millions, against a world Jewish population of about 15.7 million (DellaPergola, 2024). The figure depends heavily on definition, though.
A detail. The sources confirm the gist; the verdict faults a detail such as a date, number or wording.
A guest makes this claim. Listeners heard it, so it counts against the post, and on the guest's own record.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

… his song "Heil Hitler," that I guess came out in 20 25 it's hard to believe where we're at sometimes but it's the the the open hypocrisy of that is just, ah, astounding. But, well, it's never been about anti-Semitism, right? I mean, just as a side-side note, there are more Christian Zionists in the United States than there are Jews in the entire world, and they are explicitly motivated by explicitly anti-Semitic goals, right?

Contradicts. The most-cited concrete figure, Christians United for Israel's claim of 10 million members, is below the world Jewish population of about 15.7 million, and it is a membership claim rather than a count of Christian Zionists.[1][2][3]
Supports. Al Jazeera (2026) cites academic Tristan Sturm estimating that the US has more than 30 million Christian Zionists, which exceeds the roughly 15.7 million Jews worldwide.[3][4]
Supports. Political Research Associates says there are 'tens of millions' of Christian Zionists in the US, and DellaPergola's 2024 estimate puts the world Jewish population at 15,736,800.[3][5]
Context. Britannica notes that 'some sources indicate' the number of US Christian Zionists outweighs US Jewish Zionists, which compares a different group from the claim's comparison with all Jews worldwide.[6]
Context. Estimates of the number of Christian Zionists vary with how the group is defined; Middle East Eye counts 73 million US evangelical Protestants (about 21% of the population), and Pew's 2013 survey found 82% of white evangelicals hold the belief that Israel was given to the Jews by God.[2][6]
