So if you are going by scripture all nations have been blessed by the seed of Abraham and any could lay claim on the land of Israel.
U Have been reading 2 much NON-Christian understanding, THERE IS A RACE/NATION OF ISRAEL, and the Bible say that there will be "IMPOSTERS" who will come and take the IDENTITY of ISRAEL, nad God will "alow" it as a punishment for the unbeliefe of Israel, until the a certin, time, also the Kazars have admitted in thier "Jewish Encyclopedia" 1980 edtion, on page 42 paragraph 5 that they are NOT Israel, but decendants of Esua (Edomites), I'll be more than happy to show U from the Greek Septuigant, that they (Kazars) are not and CAN NOT B the BIOLOGICAL decendants of Israel.

Abram became the father of the Jews (Abraham) because of obedience not because of his race, nationality or bloodline. Abram didn’t make himself a Jew (Abraham), he was made a Jew by an act of God in response to his obedience. Now if Abram could be made a Jew (Abraham) by his obedience, he also would have NOT been a Jew by disobedience.
Now the same holds true for the children of Abraham: what’s good for the father is good for the children of the father. Thus, the sons of Abraham (Jews) can only be made Jews by an act of God in response to their obedience. That’s why it says, “Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. … And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
So being a “Jew”, as like Abraham, has nothing to do with race, nationality or bloodline but it is an act of God bestowed upon an individual in response to his/her obedience. So all can become Jews, “Abraham’s seed” no matter what their bloodline (like Abram) by an act of God because of their obedience (which is faith), because faith without obedience (loyalty to God) is useless.
the world's Jewish communities closely resemble not only each other but also Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese, suggesting that all are descended from a common ancestral population that inhabited the Middle East some four thousand years ago.

You mean in the same way that Muslims from Indonesia are so closely related genetically to Muslims in Pakistan?
Or the obviously genetic twin cultures of South America and Scandinavia? They look so similar...
I assume you'd be happy to tell them the same thing. I mean really... do you want to tell the Indonesian Muslims that they're not the "real" Muslims because they're genetically different? I wouldn't want to tell them that.
