As a theoretical treatise, the present article brings to light the applicability of constructivism to the study of think tanks as ideational agents actively participating in the construction of ideational structures that constitute American identity, interests, and policies. It is argued that when discussing think tanks’ production of expertise and policy advice on U.S. relations with the Muslim world, American exceptionalism and Orientalism operate as two interconnected ideational structures influencing the process. Based on a constructivist framework, an investigation into the role of think tanks in U.S. foreign policy should not begin at the final stage of policy formation; rather, it is necessary to look into how think tanks influence the process of policy making at the ideational level. As such, the characteristics of U.S. foreign policy toward the Muslim world will remain unchanged as long as there is an ideational commitment to the creed of American exceptionalism; that is to say, as long as American exceptionalism constitutes American identity, American interest, and thus American foreign policy behavior toward the Muslim world. Think tanks, as the special focal points at the intersection of the political realm, the academia, and the media, serve as the hubs of American exceptionalism and Orientalism. As long as this dual creed is continually reproduced in the think tank world, it is logical to conclude that no change is in sight with regard to U.S. foreign policy and American unilateral interventionism in the Muslim world. A break with American exceptionalism and Orientalism in the think tank world, in turn, would signal the beginning of a new era in the operation of American foreign policy.

Since the 16th century, evangelical Christians have always made extensive efforts to attract Jews and Christians and tried to induce the thinking of managing the events of the end of time and making the appearance of Christ come into being. They have done major works such as author-ing books, writing many articles, holding congresses, and influencing them; Because they be-lieve that one of the steps of the reappearance of Christ is the return of all Jews to Palestine and the support of the Israeli government so that currently the most essential concern of evangelical Christians is; The issue is the territory, power, and survival of the Zionist regime. Therefore, the question arises, what role do evangelical Christians play in Israel's survival and regional hegem-ony? The hypothesis of the article states that the evangelist current is a cultural, political, and discourse current that relies on Talmudic and Torah teachings and the support of Western coun-tries, especially the United States of America, as well as influence in the mass media today, has been able to survive and regional hegemony. become a Zionist regime, and this article, based on the descriptive-explanatory method and using the discourse analysis theory of Laclau and Mouffe, tried to examine how evangelical Christian’s influence and support the survival of the Zionist regime.
