Some Christians reject the notion that Israel has a place in God's purpose in this day and age. They have reasons, of course, but those reasons are specious. I won't go into all the reasons to justify my statement. I will simply point out that one name of the risen Jesus, who now rules and reigns in glory, is "The Lion of the Tribe of Judah". (Revelation 5:5). It is the name "Judah" that is the origin of the name, "Jew". The new city of God is the "New Jerusalem" (Revelation 3:12 and Revelation 21:2)
The name of the city of God in the new heavens and new earth is Jerusalem. It is not Washington, New York or even London. We do well to remember this even if we don't agree with Israel's policies and actions in the Middle East.
If you want to see the consequences of turning away from Israel and supporting her enemies, look no further than Britain. It's a shadow of the nation that once ruled most of the world. Now it can't even rule itself, presently beset by riots, with a broken economy and flooded with illegal migrants.
I'm English by birth and I've never changed my citizenship. That was because being able to travel freely throughout the EU was an advantage in my work. I'm retired now and Britain has left the EU. If it was not so difficult, I'd drop my British citizenship in a heartbeat.
