Sometimes it does seem so, since their wealthy people get away with so much! They must have God on their good side, or some very good "influences" up there. I have met many Israelies however, that do not agree with their Government's policies on war. My respects to them.

Not everyone in Israel is wealthy. That is a false statement. I have been to Israel and they have a large middle class and a poor class too.
Israel was choosen by God in the bible. I believe it is true because it is written there.

Just one more religious contradiction. God is so merciful, God is so just, God "chooses" some people to be his favorites, and condemns other people to an eternity in hell for something as stupid as what you "believe". For just once, why can't we have a religion where God actually does come down to Earth and carves some bullshit into the side of a mountain with lightning bolts. Every f--king religion, a bunch of s--t supposedly sent from the Almighty to people through a mans mouth. How f--king convenient is that?

It is not today's rulers of Israel that were God's chosen people, it was the Patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob). Thus all Israel became God's Chosen people. Chosen for what? - To bring redemption to the world because man had sinned. That was accomplished when Christ came and died for the sins of mankind. Now Christ has established His Church (not man's fabrication) and people from all over the world of every nation are His people.

I dont believe so because when Jesus came they sort of like disowned him in a way. That is teh reason they dont have their own country any more.God says so in the bible. ( Im not racist or anyhting of the sort i respect everyone's view it's just what is written in the bible). They used to be god's chosen people but after wht happened not any more. The wealth thing and stuff is nto what is important. it's not our goal in life... what comes after life is what we are aiming for.. anyway hope i didn't offend anyone .. just my opinion and the answer to u question.

I think they are arrogant, belligerent racists. They are genocidal maniacs, and if it weren't for them there would be no violence in the Middle East. They have created this problem, which goes back over 70 years by their own acts of hostility and violence.
They most definitly are NOT chosen people. They ARE a cause of much of the problems.

It certainly is a miracle that they've survived the Christian Crusades, the Catholic Church heresy slaughters, the Inquisition, the ghettos of Europe, the pogroms of Russia, and the WW-II holocaust. What more proof do you need?
Indeed they must be evil to have survived such atrocities.

Gods side or the Devils, someone is looking out for them. Just remember that instant wealth usually has an evil banker.

Everybody believes they are god's chosen people. That's called ego-centrism.
