God chose them, told them how to live & what they have done in return

(Deu 7:6 KJV) For thou art a holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

(Deu 7:7 KJV) The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:

(Deu 7:12 KJV) Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he swore unto thy fathers:

(Deu 7:13 KJV) And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: .,.,.,..,..,

Are they multiplying?
According to a 2002 study by the Jewish Agency, "the number of Jews in the world is declining at an average of 50,000 per year."

God also told His Chosen how they should live their lives~~~~

The term “stranger” is referenced 128 times in the KJV of the bible.
(Deu 1:16 KJV) And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
(Deu 10:19 KJV) Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
(Deu 24:19 KJV) When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
(Deu 24:20 KJV) When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
(Deu 24:21 KJV) When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

This is how they have chosen to treat the stranger—

Ezekiel
Chapter 21
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,

3 And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.

22 At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort.

23 And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.

24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.

25 And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,

I believe there is only one way God would forgive His chosen

Confess your misdeeds
Open your arms and welcome all
As if they were your own flesh and blood
Ask the Lord for Forgiveness

Should the Israelis do these things I believe God would forgive them

&

Peace would return to the Middle East
This is how I see it, how do you?

Peace will come after Jesus comes to remove the wicked sir. You are the same age as me, so you have observed the signs Jesus gave to recognize his return. You likely realize that his return is near, and that we are on the verge of the greatest tribulation to strike mankind since his beginning.

The Law covenant was fulfilled when Jesus died, and he clearly told the leaders of the pre-Christian people of God that the Kingdom would be taken from them and given to a nation producing it's fruits under a new covenant, which happened. The new covenant went into force on Pentecost of 33 CE, with the outpouring of holy spirit on the disciples gathered, showing acceptance in the new nation, the Israel of God Gal 6:16) which is made up of people of all tribes, nations, peoples and tongues Rev 5:9,10.

What I am saying with this is, that the fleshly nation of Israel is no consequence with Biblical prophecy. As a personal prediction, they will never have peace as their leader is not a god of peace, rather he takes away the peace of the earth Rev 6:4. Keep in mind however that just before the outbreak of the great tribulation, man will deceptively think that he has achieved an unmatched peace 1 Thes 5:3, but as we can see by the last portion of that verse, it is simply a perceived piece. Be ready for that sir, now is the time to stand on Jehovah's side.

Judgment Day will soon be upon many nations who come against Jerusalem specifically and for the entire world as well. A remnant Jewish population will be saved and the rest judged for rejecting Christ. (See Romans 11)
As for the Palestinians and all Islamic nations, they are enemies tonthe Jews and Christians as well. Throughtout their history, they spreas their religuin by force, conquering territiries, pillageing, plundering, raping, and fkrcing conversions - not by love. Israel js just defending themselves from continuous attacks. They are not on the offensive. In fact, if they were, they have hundreds of nukes, so they could destroy the entire Muslim populations in all Muslim countries if they were the evil ones.

Yes Jews are sinners just like Christians! TRhey need to accept their Messiah just like we did! Christians can do just as much evil when given th echance.

Israel has been regathered now by god to prepare them for judgment and purging of rebels (Is. 20) befoire they receive Jesus as Messiah. God made a covenant and He will keep it.

This is how they have chosen to treat the stranger—

Mat 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
Mat 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
Mat 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Mat 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Mat 25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Mat 25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Mat 25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
Mat 25:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
Mat 25:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
Mat 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Mat 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Mat 25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
Mat 25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Mat 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Mat 25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
Mat 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

I believe there is a reason for everything, and that God moves in mysterious ways.

So many people around the world are being displaced on all kinds of borders around the world. Kind of like a great migration.
I wonder if these times of "illegal crossings" are not God's way of testing the nations to see how charitable and hospitable we are to strangers.
It is God who creates the boundaries, even though man draws the lines.
Imagine if all of this is just a test to see what kind of character we have.

Just thinking..
