There are many Christians who don't believe that the Jews are still God's chosen people or that they have a Biblical right to the land of Israel.
Their argument is that since the Jews rejected Jesus as their Messiah, they are no longer God's chosen people and that they are under the judgment of God.
God said that He gave the land to Israel forever!
"On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abraham, saying" 'To your descendants, I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great River Euphrates."
Genesis 15:18
This promise of the land given to Israel by God is given in numerous passages throughout the Old Testament.

And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year."
Genesis 17:19-21

The Koran was verbally given by Mohammed about 600 years after Christ.
The Book of Genesis was written by Moses around 1440 B.C.

The U.S. and the United Nations don't understand the historic background of the conflict between Israel and the Arabs.
The don't get the reality that lasting peace is impossible by creating a Palestinian state.

Why would the Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims ever settle for a portion of the land of Israel when they believe that God gave them the entire land?
In order to try to make any kind of peace settlement with the Arabs and Israelis, it is important to understand the background of their conflict.
If the Arabs believe that they have been given the entire land of Israel by God, then they will never be satisfied with just a Palestinian state and portions of the land.
If they believe it is their divine right to possess all of Israel, which they do, then giving them a Palestinian state will never completely satisfy them and more terrorism and war can be expected.

One of the main reasons for the Muslims hatred and jealousy is because they believe that the Jews rewrote the Bible to make the Jews heirs to the Covenant of Abraham.
Jewish tradition teaches that the Old Testament states that the Covenant of Abraham gave the land of Israel to the Jews.
Islam teaches that the Covenant of Abraham, along with the promise of the land of Israel, was given to the Arabs and Muslims through Ishmael.

"And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad [Ishmael] and because of the bondwoman [Hagar];

bear a son and shall call him Ishmael; because the Lord has heard your affliction."

The prophecy given to Rebecca in Genesis 25:23 wasn't concerning Esau and Jacob in their lifetime, Esau didn't serve Jacob.

Isaac had two sons, Esau and Jacob.
In complete opposition to the customs of that time, God chose Jacob, the younger son to be heir to His promises.
In fact, before these twins were born, God had revealed to their mother Rebecca, the future of her two sons. "Two nations are in your womb. Two peoples separated from your body; One people shall be stronger than the other, and the older shall serve the younger." Genesis 25:23
