Can anyone take away or invade Israel's unique position among the nations?

Les teaches that Israel's uniqueness is positional. The nation of Israel has been positioned as a unique set-aside people, and no one can infringe on or invade that position that only the nation of Israel of all the peoples of the world enjoy. He goes back to Deuteronomy 7:6, where Moses writes to the Jew, to the nation of Israel: "For thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth." Les emphasizes that these words are directed to the Jew and finds the language plain: God chose Israel as a special people above all peoples on the earth.
