I'm not sure anyone really denies this.
I think this debate really comes down to who these Jews are. Some hold that it can only be those who call themselves Jews (or Israelis), and who are living in the state known as Israel at present. I find this belief unscriptural, as any man or his dog can claim to be Jewish and migrate to Israel.
Others hold a more scriptural position, in that God looks at the heart, and that the true Jews are those who are circumcised in heart, not necessarily making an outer show of being Jews, and not necessarily living in the state known as Israel.
