Actually, I think its a mistake to think that the Israelites (aka the Jewish people, or their descendants) are "still God's chosen people".
Parable of the Tenants
Matt 21:33- 43
“Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit.
“The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third. Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way. Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
“But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’ So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
“Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”
“He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.”
Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?"
“Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
Here, Jesus is directly explaining: God prepared Israel to receive the Messiah. He constantly sought to redirect and chasten them, by sending prophets. But when he finally sent the Messiah, the Christ, as a people, they rejected him (through the machinations of the 'leaders'). Israel failed in its mission as the Chosen people, and so, on the foundation of the Cross, God raised a new Israel, one on the worldwide level. This is Christianity. Christians are the chosen people and their mission is to prepare for the arrival of the Second Coming.
The question is, will worldwide Christianity repeat the mistake of Israel, or reverse Israel's failure.
"Jerusalem" is more than a city in the Middle East. Symbolically, "Jerusalem" means the landing pad for Christ's second coming, the seat of the Kingdom of God in the world. The city in the middle east was the original Jerusalem, but lost its position due to the failure of the Israelites. Hence, "the new Jerusalem" in Revelations.
Besides this scriptural aspect however, we need to remember that the Deep State Cabal has infiltrated everywhere, and in many places good and evil share a borderline, next to each other. Hating on Israel as a nation is foolish. It's the Cabal in Israel that needs to be countered, not the People (who are actually the nation).
