I was raised with this 30 years ago. The woman who led me to the Lord was named Cohen, and her whole family were messianic Jews.
I was raised that the Jews are the apple of God's eye. You harm them at your peril. "I will bless those that bless you, and curse those that curse you"

Isn't it incongruous with belief in one universal almighty all-encompassing divinity to contend that favoritism from such is extended to a particular group?
Surely humankind has outgrown such tribalistic views.
And after all, many religions have contended that their supporters would be blessed and their opponents cursed.
Further, isn't it incongruous with Christianity to contend that even the most faithful Christians have lesser status than even one other religious group?

I was raised that the Jews are the apple of God's eye. You harm them at your peril. "I will bless those that bless you, and curse those that curse you" The Israelites, not just the tribe of Judah. An interesting question: what about one Israelite blessing or cursing another?
