Maybe so. But the return of the Jewish people to their land after an almost 2000 year exile, their domination of world finance, and becoming a military super power within 75 years is the clearest and simplest vindication and ratification of the truth of the Jewish Covenant and the prophets from Moses to Jesus.

I would like to refer you to Deuteronomy 30. Take a look at the first 10 verses.

Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
