Glenn FleishmanI don’t entirely understand who Republicans are performing for. The ones who are most in the bag for Israel, no matter how genocidal Israel is, and are currently yelling about antisemitism on college campuses, do not care about antisemitism or students or Israel as a state or Jews. Many of them are either overtly or covertly antisemitic. Who is the audience?

Christian Zionists.
They literally believe that the nation of Israel reclaiming the ‘Holy Land' will fulfill a prophecy in the Bible and Jesus will be forced to come back sooner. They will aggressively pursue a genocide if it means they can achieve their religious goals. They also largely believe Jews will then go to hell.
This is a stated or unstated core belief in many (most?) American Christian organizations.
