Jesus was very big in the Bible on saying that Israel was to be utterly destroyed, which it was in the siege of jerusalem. It is now a secular pro LGBT country and some Christians think giving financial aid to a secular pro lgbt, pro abortion country supersedes the teachings of Jesus christ. Not once did Jesus mention this.

Yes, this. The promises made by Yahweh/God to Israel were completely fulfilled in the coming of Jesus, his death, and resurrection. Mosaic Judaism itself was culminated in the finished work of Christ on the cross. Any Jew today who seeks "Torah righteousness" can indeed achieve it, but only by embracing Christ as his or her savior.

Beyond this, the modern nation state of Israel is of no eschatological significance, the silly ravings of the Darbyites notwithstanding.

“Tempora mutantur.”

“Times are changed; we also are changed with them”

I’ve also heard it as “Times change and with them their demands”.

I don’t think Israel is always right about everything. Nor wrong either.

Well said.
