There must be a certain amount of cognitive dissonance at work somewhere, because unconditional support for Israel doesn't appear to be wavering within the GOP and the rightward shift of Netanyahu's latest administration has surely earned their rubber stamp of approval.
I think we just have to accept that the Republican Party isn't a monolith but instead a broad church which manages to shelter a diverse range of bizarre and dubious opinions beneath its roof. It's big enough to accommodate anti-semites as well as pro-Zionists -- as well as those who are willing to sacrifice Holocaust victims as pawns to "win" an "argument" that slavery improved the lives of slaves.
It's not super complicated
They love Israel because it's an apartheid state engaged in the long slow genocide of the Palestinians. They can hate Jews but still love Israel for killing brown people. Especially since it means the Jews are there and not here.
