When God told Abraham that He would bless those who bless your and your descendants, and curse those who curse them, still rings true today. For example, for years the Soviet Union treated Jewish people quite well, but the USSR began crumbling when Stalin decided that Jews were the problem with Soviet Bolshevism.

Prior to the rise of the national Socialists, Germany was very tolerant of Jewish people, and accepted them wholeheartedly if they converted to Christianity (which many did). When the national Socialists took over, they led Europe on the path to destroy the Jewish race. Where's Germany now? For 45 years, they were the playthings of obnoxious Americans and brutal Russians. Now they're unified, but they're a shadow of the nation they were before World War 1.

Look at all the African Islamic countries that oppose Israel- most all of them have crop failures and famine.

The US and Canada have honored Judaism for decades, and the Lord has blessed our nations with abundant wealth never seen before in history. However, the last 20 years we're beginning to see the Jew-hating that infected Europe and the Middle East. I can see our countries slowly being ground into the dustbin of history because of this.

Add in the OIC’s “UN”.
That’s a huge repository/ suppository of hate.

While I generally agree, there are certainly comparisons of "abundant wealth" where the nations did not honor Judaism or Christianity. Japan and China are just two of many examples.

There is more (much more) to the story of God's blessings on lands. The same is true for "abundant wealth." I'm afraid abundant wealth is not unique to only believers.

It's just not that simple.

The Soviet Union was murderous toward Christians from the start. Trotsky burned nuns alive in churches during the Civil War. Christian clergy, especially Orthodox clergy, were massacred by the thousands from the start of the USSR.

You don't think any of that offended God? That only when Stalin turned on the Jews was God offended?

This analysis also makes no sense:

Prior to the rise of the national Socialists, Germany was very tolerant of Jewish people ... Now they're a shadow of the nation they were before World War 1.

But Germany lost WW 1 while they were still being nice to Jews.

Germany was nice to Jews. Germany suffered defeat in WW 1.

Germany was mean to Jews. Germany suffered defeat in WW 2.

Germany is again nice to Jews. Germany still suffers.

Jews are not a magic people. The fate of nations does not depend on how they, or any other people, are treated. There are no magic people.

Acts 10:34

Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism.

No.

God did not say anything about Abraham's descendants. He spoke of Abraham's seed, which is Jesus Christ, and the blessings are for those who believe in Him.

Galatians 3:16

The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ.

Galatians 3:29

If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Very well? Judaism as a religion was a crime in the USSR and there was Jewish Section of the Bolshevik party dedicated to reshaping Jewish culture.
