I think is funny that millions of people think the Israel from the Bible is the exact same as the United Nations made Israel government (politicians) founded in 1948.
You have to be stupid to think that God says:
"Look,
the United Nations now calls what was Palestine for 1000s of years Israel,
isn't that what I called the chosen people in the old testament?
I guess this country is my chosen country"

On May 14, 1948, on the day in which the British Mandate over a Palestine expired, the Jewish People's Council gathered at the Tel Aviv Museum, and approved the following proclamation, declaring the establishment of the State of Israel. The new state was recognized that night by the United States and three days later by the USSR.
