HMM.....
I just want to say what I think here, because I don't think I'll have any peace until I do.
Israel, the Jewish people I mean, is God's people. They have been that way since the LORD made his covenant with Abraham. And as I understand it GOD never ends his covenants. Which means that the old covenant with Abraham still stands correct? Which means Israel are still GODs special people.
Since Jesus (or as he is known amongst his people: Yeshua) came and died for our sins there has been a new covenant under his blood. However, Jesus did NOT destroy the old laws or the old covenant. He fulfilled them. Did not Jesus say that he did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it? As far as I understand when we become new creatures in Christ we are grafted onto the tree of Abraham, which in my understanding means that we become God's special people with the Jews.
Christians have never displaced the Jewish people, but have become God's people together with them. This is not to say the Jewish people do not need to accept Jesus. Everyone must accept Christ to be saved and enter into Heaven. But it just means that because of Abraham, the friend of God, the Jews are still special.
On the State of Israel:
Consider this, since 1948 the State of Israel has been under constant fire from the Islamic Arab nations surrounding them (due to in fact the rivalry between Isaac and Ishmael) and have thoroughly trounced them ever since. Now the very fact that the Jewish people have a nation again after 2,000 years is amazing enough. But to have never lost a war in the short history of the modern State is.... wow. I think that this means that God is with Israel and protecting them, otherwise the State of Israel would have been wiped out before now.
Also I believe that the State of Israel's creation was foretold in the Bible and is an important mark on the way to the End Times, and the Glorious Return of Jesus. This means that God must think that the modern State is important.
Plus I think that the Bible says that those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who do not will be cursed. I take this to mean that we should love the Jewish people and support the modern State.
Not only that, but consider this if you will. GOD gave the Holy Land to the descendents of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Not Abraham, Ishmael, and his prosperity. The land of the Israel belongs to the Jewish people by right of covenant; the Arabs (the sons and daughters of Ishmael) have no right or claim to that land. And unless Im reading the Bible wrong GOD doesnt break his covenants.
Thank you for the time to read this and may Jesus bless you.
