Get some perspective here. Ancient culture. Israel is a “nation that was not a nation.” Chosen by G~d, for a purpose!
WHY?
To bring the revelation of the one true G~d to all the other nations;

The Stars Like Dust – Asimov – Mankind, as the only life in the Universe, expands to colonize the galaxy.
