Photo Of "Chosen People" Entertained By Bombs

How the Jews became God's chosen people eludes my knowledge and understanding.  Will God's true chosen people watch bombs land in the Gaza Strip as if it is entertainment?  Read disturbing article with photo at http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/15/world/middleeast/israelis-watch-bombs-drop-on-gaza-from-front-row-seats.html?_r=0

If there was a promise by God to protect the Jews in return for their obedience to God and the Ten Commandants, performance on that promise is excused.  In other words, God no longer needs to fulfill the covenant with the Jews when they did not love thy neighbor, Jesus, and when they plotted to have Jesus crucified when thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. [1]


[1] I am not a biblical scholar so the conclusions I have drawn here may very well be invalid.  Until I am convinced otherwise, I will continue to believe that the Jews are no longer the only ones favored by God, if they continue to be the "chosen ones."  That was made abundantly clear on the Day of Pentecost when "the apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit, who caused them to speak in tongues. The crowds of visitors were astonished because every pilgrim heard the apostles speaking to him or her in their own foreign language."  See http://christianity.about.com/od/biblestorysummaries/a/Day-Of-Pentecost.htm  With that miracle, God had swung open the door to salvation for everybody else.
