People were bending the knee to AIPAC long before the conspiracy, and I do mean conspiracy to infaltrate Evangelical churches, selling snake oil.
Widespread Christian Zionism predates the modern state of Israel by several centuries (at least 1587 in the UK, and was later taken up by the Puritans). In fact to a large extent it was Christian Zionism (AKA the restoration movement) that revived Jewish desire for a state.
Premillenial dispensationalism took root in America in the early 1800s.
These days Christian Zionists are more numerous in the developing world, where it's spread mostly by the prosperity doctrine inclined Pentecostals (who did predominantly emerge from America).
