So do you really think that only fellow Jews are the only ones that count as God's people according to Hashem! What happened to Joseph due to Jacob's favouritism? It seems we can all learn a lesson or two from that ancient story, but it seems very easy to manipulate it around the right to be chosen. What about the responsibility to Hashem toward the ones outside the chosen. Chosen to be put on a pedestal, or chosen to bring unity which is the central meaning of Shalom! If all humans go back to Adam the first man, then there is a common link amonst us and wouldn't you be rejecting, or mistreating one of Adam's (Hashem's) children if you reject a so called non Jew? What about the Jews who intermarried and stopped practicing their Judaism and have now descendants that have no clue about their jewish ancestry?
