It's because........they are the Chosen People.

The Scriptures say that through them, all the families of the earth will be blessed. Any casual (or causal, if you wish) analysis shows this to be the case. From the Jews:

We have the Scriptures.
Our moral code.
Our understanding of Who God is.
Our understanding that man is a moral being with God-like creativity (Imageo Dei)
The New Testament.
Jesus Christ (Salvation for the world).
The Apostles.
The Christian Church

Add to all this the writers, scientists, doctors, scholars etc. through the ages.

They are chosen for a purpose......to bless the world and bring glory to God. The Jews don't necessarily plan it that way, but God does, and so it happens.

I totally agree.

But that doesn't dictate my views on foreign policy.

they are the Chosen People.

That may be, but vanity is considered the worst of the Cardinal sins. It matures into envy, also a Cardinal sin, and then makes a bee line into leftist politics.

Do black people go around beating their chests proclaiming they are God's Athletes?
