Israel is the only country on earth where christians are statistically overrepresented in universities.
Christians in Israel are characterized by a high level of education. Arab Christian high school students have the highest rate of success in matriculation exams in Israel: 64%, significantly higher than the rates of matriculation of Jews (59%), Muslim (48), and Druze (55%) high school students. Among the population of Christian students, over 79% studied for B.A., 18.4% for an M.A., while 2.6% studied for a PhD.12 According to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 60% of overall Israeli population was expected to study towards a B.A (2012).
What this means is that Israel is more merit-based and less affirmative action than US higher education.
These numbers translate into jobs and socioeconomic status. Christians in Israel are statistically overrepresented in lucrative jobs in the STEM field. Compare this with how christians are in the US, where most are marginalized and migrated to the rural areas while the atheists (and hindus) dominate the higher education system (especially the prestigious universities) and the STEM field. Many Christians (and Druzes) serve in the IDF precisely because Israel benefits them as a group, they are historically marginalized under traditional Islamic rule. If Hamas got their way, these people are fucked btw.
This is why evangelical christian zionist is a thing. It's not just stupid sunday school mom, there are legitimate hard number arguments too.
Then there's the BDS thing in US, full of ignorant liberals and their "poor innocent hamas protesters", while in reality IDF has a fuckton of muslim soldiers who prefer the more civilized Israel rather than the inferior savage caliphate alternative offered by Hamas. I bet none of them have any idea how many muslims are inside Israeli parliament and government. Israel is only a thing because many muslims and christians in the region prefers Israel than the alternative.
So I know a palestinian muslim family who accepted Israeli citizenship offer. Now wealthy as fuck, and pro Israel as fuck. I don't blame this general who speak in this video because I'm sure he benefits financially from this video, he needs to take care of himself after all. Life lesson #1: pragmatists always win in the end, idealists always lose in the end.

Nope. I liked it. It showed me that they don't have a good case. I am glad they made that video. Before I was thinking that perhaps there is something I didn't know.
