Do people believe that Israel (as a modern country) should get special privileges because of Biblical promises?
No, Israel should not get special “privileges” different from any other country. It should be treated the same way as any other Western style democracy faced with existential threats from terrorist group, hostile populations, and neighbouring countries who can’t even work their way up to recognizing it after 60 year of existence. Unfortunately, Israel is singled out numerous times by the UN, the media, its critics, etc. etc.
