If you will read the Old Testament, it says there that the Jewish people are the Chosen people of God. There are times they are called Sons or Children of God. There is also a verse in one of the Major Prophets that God asked, "Am I not a husband to you?"
If you are not a Jew like me, you may come to ask what am I therefore in the eyes of God? Is it okay now with me not to belong to the religion that has something to do with them? Catholics, Christians, Jews and Muslims claim to have one and the same God and even believe to have come from the same Adam and Eve. Why only the Jews seem to have the special kind of relationship and the rest look like riders on?
To tell you honestly, there were also people chosen outside Israel and some of them unbelievably need not necessarily have to believe in the same God.
To be chosen is to be given a certain kind of responsibility. Before Adam and Eve, people were believers of many Gods and Godessess. They also believe in nature and the elements of nature. They worship the sun, the moon, the sea, the wind and even the clouds. Time has to come that God decided to be known as the only One who created everything and so, He came out to create Adam and Eve as the first people who will have to know Him as the only and One God. Then their children will have to grow carrying the same faith until these generation and more generations to come.As for privilege and rights, all that we have and all that we can do are the same as what they have and they can do. In fact, the punishment for them has always been severe than what you may learned from history books compared to other countries.
I can say a lot more about their relationship but its actually nothing to make any other nation envious. What was given to them was a duty, not a privilege that is why some if not most of them questions God as why Them? There is one thing though, that you may ask, "If they have been so stubborn and obstinate in the eyes of God, why can't God just leave or abandon them and look for another one?".....If you want to really find out...go to this website....www.thename.ph

. I always find it amusing when non-Jews attempt to give their answer on questions like this, since by and large they don't have a clue.
I am Jewish, and I've put in a couple links below that will direct you to some good sites. It would take me a long time to answer your question and these sites do it more concisely than I could.

It's wonderful! And by the way, Jews almost never refer to the "Judeo-Christian" God because our God is One and the Christian God is three. Our God is loving and caring and does not send people to Hell to burn eternally. God asks us to be, first and foremost, charitable to others and do good works in this life.

The Bible teaches that there is a blindness which has happened to Israel, however a small remnant will continue to come to believe in Jesus Christ throughout the New Testament period. However there is a day in the future where Israel will turn to the Lord Jesus Christ in mass.
I do for the advancement of the gospel and for the calling of Israel.

Read on ....jnsr..... from Jesus:
'ISRAEL, here is your gift:
the day I was born on your Earth.
*******
20 December 2006
JESUS: I have thrown My keys in the stars and the one that opens the Era of Peace was hidden in one of them. If you have found it, Israel, open this door that has been sealed and give to each one the mean to be saved.
My Heart is overflowing with Love for this Nation that is still wandering in the mists of time. This is now time to wake up because People are all asleep close beside. This Nation must carry Me, honour Me and worship Me. Through it I am going to give Peace to the World.
The Honour of God Saviour is in its hands, because this Nation is My Choice, its misery is Mine. Its deliverance is in My Name that is still prisoner of all.
I was kept hidden by only one Nation. By only one, My Holy Light will shine on the whole World. These thousands and thousands of stars have remained silent until the one that keeps the Key of The Universal Deliverance opens, just like the Evening Star that opened to give Light to these People who did not know how to see the Birth of the Saviour heralded by a simple star that was coming down from the sky. The Heaven of Glory was in your hands to give you Peace in the Love of God Saviour, Yeshouah, The One given by the Father, ripped out of His Holy Heart to save you.
Remembering this day when the Star of Bethlehem shone, you will understand that in It My Key has been hidden.
And the one to whom I have already given My Name, JNSR, has just revealed to you this discovery announced so many times but that you could not comprehend until now. Because like the peaceful ox of the Nativity Scene, by dint of ruminating you have not yet swallowed the Holy Name of God Saviour, Yeshouah. For the whole Mankind, the Only Son of God became the Son of Man to save the sinners of the whole World.
My Holy Light will shine again in the Star of Bethlehem because I am ready to forgive a repented Israel that in its concern to protect its nomadic People has kept Me secret.
Because of this obscurity, I have not yet been able to reign on this Earth that my Father has given Me, because I am King of the entire Universe. To this day, I am still waiting that you open for Me this door still closed. Israel has locked away in its silence the way of universal Deliverance. Israel must open it with the Key that has been kept in its land where God made Man was born and where the Day of God cannot come for His Earth that has kept it hidden.
Deliver Me. Deliver yourselves. I come to forgive you.
Deliver the whole World!
by claiming your true identity, you are the People of Yeshouah.
On your heart and in the deepest place of your heart, I want to read My Name that I have given to Moses: I am YHShWH, the Lord of the Lords, Dead and Resurrected for the Salvation of the World.
Your fathers were calling Me of the ineffable Name of Yeshouah, the Only and Glorified God, the One that Israel must give to the whole World, because I am your God of Glory and of Majesty, your Saviour well Alive, YHShWH , who died on The Cross and rose again so all his children could have Life.
Amen.

He is very angry at them for killing his son and rejecting him. That's why they are so persecuted.
