So God just keeps his covenant with you, but nor with Jews? You argue that you replaced the Jews, while Muslims argue that the replaced Christians. Israel is Israel and God gave it to the Jews for a possession.

“So God just keeps his covenant with you, but nor with Jews?”

God kept his covenant with the Jews through Jesus Christ. The consistent belief of Christians from the beginning has been that Christians are themselves the new Israel. Jerome made this point in the 300s, Augustine in the 400s, Aquinas a thousand years later. And many others.

Holy Mother Church does not simply replace Israel.

She is Israel.

The U.S gave the Jews Israel. God had nothing to do with it.

They were dispossessed in 70 A D.

Modern Israel is a creation of the United Nations.
