I am the author of two books on ancient history and theology, and they discuss a few topics of Jewish interest although I wouldn't consider them to be specifically Jewish or Messianic. However, I have found that among my readers there is a high proportion of Israel supporters, and although the reasons are not immediately obvious, I can make a few suggestions about why this should occur. My first book, "Forgotten History of the Western People: From the Earliest Origins" is about history as it used to be, before all the references to Noah and his sons were deleted by evolutionists and modernists. My second book, "Impossible Theology: The Christian Evolutionist Dilemma" was written for the benefit of Christians who didn't like the first book because they had made too many compromises with evolution. There could possibly be two reasons why I get a large proportion of Israel supporters among my readers: (1) Jewish people have a strong sense of history, much more than Evangelical Christians. (2) Jewish people are more likely to take the Bible literally and do not pour scorn on the early chapters of Genesis. Anyway, I'm here, and if you want to see what I'm up to, see my website: www.annomundi.co.uk/Mike Gascoigne

I think I found the answer to my question. The Israel supporters among my customers are, for the most part, not actually Jewish. They are Christian supporters of Israel, which means they have chosen to support Israel for theological reasons.
The thing we have in common is the Bible. If people take the Bible seriously enough to be creationists, they are also likely to be Israel supporters because they see the importance of Israel and the Jewish people in end-time prophecy.
Mike

I am very interested in history myself, and I found all that stuff on the history section very fascinating; continue in Moshiach and may G-d bless you. You have been here shortly and yet you have already offered so much. Thank you.
