In 2023, the murder rate among Jews and other non-Arab ethnic groups in Israel was 0.85 murders per 100,000 people.
Netanyahu Trial
The Jerusalem District Court ruled that Netanyahu will stand trial in the cases filed against him four years ago, in which he is accused of bribery, fraud and breach of trust.
Netanyahu's defense team has filed a request to the District Court to postpone the prime minister's testimony several times. Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the State Prosecution informed the Jerusalem District Court that it rejected the latest request to postpone Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's testimony.
Note
If the Israeli people were God's chosen people, they would be a people of faith without crimes and without the need for trials.
The Bible says
True believers are those who hear the word of God, believe it in their hearts, and understand the value of the message to the point that they take up their cross to follow Jesus (Luke 9:23; 14:26-33).
When we have a relationship with God, this means that God is part of our daily lives. We must pray, read, and meditate on His Word to know Him better. We must pray for wisdom (James 1:5), which is the most precious thing we can possess.

After 14 months of slaughter in Gaza, the International Criminal Court has finally issued an official arrest warrant for Israeli prime minister Netanyahu. But it means nothing if governments around the world don’t enforce it. And there’s no time to waste - every 30 minutes, a child has been killed by Israel in Gaza.

According to the Israel Democracy Institute, about two-thirds of Israeli Jews believe that Jews are the "chosen people".
The Torah mentioned Israel in the sense of the Children of Israel a lot, but it also mentions that the foreign believer is treated as the believer from the Children of Israel. Today, however, there is confusion between the Israelis during the era of Moses, and the Jews as adherents of a religion.
The Jews acknowledge the punishment of God, if they are the children of God, then He does not punish them. And since He tortures them, they are not his children or his loved ones.
There is no people chosen by God with all its individuals. In every nation there are believers who love God and who are loved by God.
Christians believe that they are God's chosen people as well. Based on verse 1 Peter 2:9
‘But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light’—1 Peter 2:9 (NIV).
In contrast with those who reject Christ and are destined to "stumble," Peter now describes the chosen people of God
Peter uses language that had been used to describe God's special relationship with Israel. As Israel was, we—believers, the church—are also a chosen race. Unlike Israel, though, we are not a race in the sense of our family, ethnicity, skin color, or country of origin. We are a spiritual race, in the sense that, in Christ, we share a single spiritual Father. In that same meaning, we are a "holy nation," a specific group of people called out and set apart from all other nations.
.
The Israelites were a chosen generation. Likewise, believers in Christ are the objects of God’s everlasting love, irrespective of any foreseen qualities in themselves. They have not chosen him, but he has chosen them and called them with a holy calling. And, although they belong to different people and languages, they are of the spiritual seed of Abraham. Born from above, united in one head, and partakers of one life, they have one hope on earth, one home in heaven.
To represent the higher honor of the saints in the gospel age, Peter combines two offices never united in the Jewish church. Jewish kings were not priests; neither were all the tribes of ancient Israel admissible to the priesthood. But in regard to Christians it is true of them all that they are kings, inasmuch as they are made conquerors in Christ over their spiritual enemies. They are priests—the way into the holiest of all has been open to each of them. No exclusion but that of their own unbelieving and suspicious hearts exists to their entering in. The altar has been prepared and consecrated upon which they are enjoined to lay the bloodless sacrifice of their whole persons “holy and acceptable unto God, which is their reasonable service” [Romans 12:2].
Like Israel of old, believers in Christ are a holy nation. The true church of Christ, separated from the world, washed in the fountain opened for sin and uncleanness, sanctified by the word applied by his efficacious working, in whose hand it becomes the incorruptible seed that lives and abides forever, the church stands forth with the inscription upon it of HOLY TO THE LORD [Exodus 28:36, Jeremiah 2:3, etc.].

Wrote about ‘How is Israel related to god's chosen people?’

Should we all move there? All 7-8 billion on the planet?
For we are all god's chosen people.
Quite arrogant and far from loving to say that it's only for Israelis.
Or Americans as they do the same. "God bless America" (and the rest can go to hell).
Palestine’s lived in what is now called Israel.
Then after the WW the allied forces decided the Jews had to go to Palestine to PEACEFULLY co-habit the country with the Palestine’s.
But Jews clearly didn't get 'peaceful co-habitation' as they took over, mistreated the Palestines, and that's still going on today.
They did their best to annihilate the original people of the country.
How is that 'god chosen'??
Basically the mess in that country is the result of the allied forces' decision, nothing to do with god.
It had to do with the fact that no one knew what to do with the Jews after the war and they had to go somewhere. So dump them in an area where they weren't in the way.
Well, they were, but not in the way of the west.
If the allied forces had decided differently back then there'd now be peace in today's Israel.
As it is the west has created a giant massacre, caused by the Israelis, and suffering of the people who actually lived in that country.
They're now confined by the Israelis behind a wall on a small piece of land, not allowed to do this and that and the other.
Really very sad and actually disgusting to treat other human beings that way.
We are all part of the Divine, god if you wish, and in that sense all equal. No race, people etc. has god's / the Divine's preference

Wide Arab solidarity with Lebanon following a wave of explosions of communication devices in Lebanon used by Hezbollah elements and the explosions of wireless communication devices "pagers" carried out by Israel in southern Lebanon, the Bekaa and other scattered areas.
Iran said that it is "a stigma for the West that supports Israel", especially the United States, an ally of Israel.
Egypt expressed its solidarity with Lebanon in this attack and Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati received a call from Foreign Minister Dr. Badr Abdel Ati, during which he conveyed the solidarity of Egypt, its president and people, with Lebanon in what it was exposed to from pager explosions.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry also condemned the terrorist aggression committed by Israel against civilians in Lebanon, which reflects its desire to expand the scope of the war.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani issued directives to send Iraqi medical teams and emergency teams to Lebanon to provide urgent assistance to alleviate the pain of the injured innocent civilians.
Iraq stressed that these events, in addition to the other ongoing threats and attacks committed by the usurping entity, and the threat to launch a large-scale war on Lebanon, are matters that require urgent international intervention; In order to prevent the situation from sliding towards expanding the circle of war that has targeted, for months, the people of the Gaza Strip, as well as civilians in the West Bank and southern Lebanon, and caused them tragedies, without deterring the occupation army from implementing its plans to expand and occupy more lands.
Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister Ayman Safadi confirmed the directives of King Abdullah II of Jordan to provide any medical assistance needed by the Lebanese medical sector to treat thousands of Lebanese citizens who were injured in the mass bombing in Lebanon.
The spokesman for the Secretary-General of the United Nations warned of the risks of escalation in Lebanon, which is taking the region to a dangerous stage.
The international organization demanded an independent investigation into the circumstances of these mass bombings, and holding accountable those who ordered and carried out this attack. The United Nations said that targeting thousands of individuals without knowing who was in possession of the targeted devices violates international humanitarian law.

Material and rhetorical support for the genocide of the Palestinian people is everywhere. It's time to ask why

Opposing genocide is a moral not a political choice.
"There is only one way to end the ongoing genocide in Gaza. It is not through bilateral negotiations. Israel has amply demonstrated, including with the assassination of the lead Hamas negotiator, Ismail Haniyeh, that it has no interest in a permanent ceasefire. The only way for Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians to be halted is for the U.S. to end all weapons shipments to Israel. And the only way this will take place is if enough Americans make clear they have no intention of supporting any presidential ticket or any political party that fuels this genocide..."

"THE DESTRUCTION AND slaughter of Gaza and its people is now the biggest atrocity of modern times, some analysts say. Proportionally, four or five times as much of the population of Gaza has been killed even than in headline-grabbing Ukraine. Furthermore, the killing has taken place in a much shorter space of time—and analysts struggle to find any modern war in which the majority of the victims have been women and children..."
