First, this is what the Word of God, aka the Bible, says about Israel (RE becoming a nation in 1948?):

God says: I will take the children of Israel from among the nations to which they have come, and gather them from all sides to bring them back to their land. I will make them one nation upon the land, in the mountains of Israel and there shall be one prince for them all. -Ezekiel 37:21

Israel and the Catholic Church have Something in Common

[The following is from the Mass readings for April 25^th]

Jeremiah 2:1

This word of the Lord came to me: Go, cry out this Message for Jerusalem to hear! I remember the devotion of your youth, how you loved Me as a bride, following Me in the desert, in a land unknown. Sacred to the Lord was Israel, the first fruits of his harvest; should any presume to partake of them, evil would befall them, says the Lord.

When I brought you into the garden land to eat its goodly fruits, you entered & defiled my land, you made my heritage loathsome [Here is the part that pertains also to the Catholic Church:] The priests asked not “Where is the Lord?” Those who dealt with the Law knew Me not: the shepherds rebelled against Me. The prophets prophesied by Baal & went after useless idols [greed? sɛҳuąƖ perversion?].

Be amazed at this, O heavens, & shudder with sheer horror, says the Lord. Two evils have My people done: they have forsaken Me, the source of living waters... they have dug themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, that hold no water.

What stands out to me is:

Sacred to the Lord was Israel

Sacred to the Lord was the Roman Catholic Church
