I have a Christian buddy and he asked me how I felt about the Israel Palestine conflict and who is in the right. My answer is that the whole area would be better if orthodox or coptic Christians were the absolute majority, but ultimately the right of conquest should dictate whose land it is, not some historical claim that exists in perpetuity. To acknowledge such would lend credence to Siberian Americans and their constant whinging about stolen land. That said he went on to bring up biblical perspectives about Jews being God's chosen people. My question is: has the Christian Bible in its editions always venerated the Jews and made such distinctions between the Jewish tribes and Gentiles? I can't help but think that such a position is religious cuckery and validates the Jewish supremacism that enables them to exploit moral duplicity. Was there a Jewish subversion of Christian texts? Are the orthodox more based? I don't mind digging into long reads if anyone has good sources. Thank you!
