it's funny how you guys keep repeating that line but never ask the question "chosen for what?" because that part is very important.  if you actually read the bible instead of pretending to be clever about it then you'd know that it is a record of the jews rejecting god, worshipping false gods and breaking god's laws. they rejected their messiah and killed him, rejected his plan for them and rejected god's intended purpose for them.  the jews were chosen to be the representatives of god on earth to everyone and in their disbelief they rejected him, so god turned away from the jews and scattered them. he allowed the romans to destroy them and their temple and two millennia later they still have no temple.
