You project backwards. The idea of a “chosen people” is that of an obligation, a burden that is accepted willingly, and not a mark of superiority.
How odd
of God
to choose
the Jews
How odd of God
to choose the Jews;
It’s not so odd,
the Jews chose God.
Or as Israel Zangwill put it: It is not so much a matter of the chosen people as the choosing people.
I can predict your next claim, because you’ve tried it before: “but most Jews are atheists”. Which isn’t true of Israeli Jews as 80% do believe in God: ynetnews COM/articles/0,7340,L-4181776,00.html
Christians then spurned most of the laws set in the Torah, which some wit added
The goyim
annoy ‘im
and
But not so odd
as those who choose
the Jewish God
but spurn the Jews.
Judaism is accepting of the existence of other faiths. The underlying sentiment is that there are multiple paths to faith and other paths are perfectly acceptable for other peoples. Jews don’t advocate for the death of apostates or the beheading of infidels. In contrast consider Algeria, the birthplace of St. Augustine but now 99% Muslim. Same with Turkey. Jordan is over 97% Muslim. Except for Israel, Christianity is being wiped out in the Middle East.
Backing radical Islam is a choice in the form of Hamas, an even more radical branch of the Muslim Brotherhood is a choice. A bad one.
