Jews may be the chosen people, but it is not the first time God had to kill many of them for disobedience. Look what happen to them when Moses came down from the mountain and found many of them worshipping the Golden Calf. Look what happen to the land of Israel and Judah when the successor kings of Solomon failed and were destroyed and the people where carried away as slaves to Babylon. The Jewish people had several Disporas before the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 AD.

Do you really believe in a deity who, per the conceptual framework you've delineated, kills people?

Seriously.

Islam does; The West should be better.

God has also fulfilled his promise and kept the Jewish people alive while all the nations of the world were destroyed completely.

Look what happen to them when Moses came down from the mountain and found many of them worshipping the Golden Calf.

God didn't kill any Jews for the sin of the golden calf.

Solomon failed and were destroyed and the people where carried away as slaves to Babylon

Solomon was possibly the wisest and greatest King of Israel. His reign was the most peaceful and successful.

The Jewish people had several Disporas before the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 AD.

The holy temple was distroyed two times, not several.
