Modern day Israel is a nation-state with a Jewish majority. There are also numerous Jews elsewhere. The Jewish tradition holds that Jews are God's chosen people, chosen to bear the burden of the Torah, but the Jewish tradition also includes many stories of Jewish governments that failed to live up to their responsibility.

Originally, the Jewish faith was created in what is now modern day Israel. Many Jews live in Israel today, and many people associate Jewish people with that country today.

Is it true that if a nation blesses Israel it will be blessed and if it curses Israel it will be cursed?
That is a question of faith, not history. But there are some people, especially Biblical Christians, who believe that is true. That is actually a line from the Old Testament, or Hebrew Scriptures. It was applying to the nation of Israel, not necessarily today's modern State of Israel. Answer 2 Yes it is true. In this context "Israel" refers to all Jews, whether they live in the State of Israel, or outside of it. Nothing whatsoever in the Bible suggests that it was referring only to ancient Israel, or specifically not to Israel today or in all times. God's promises are eternal and irrevocable. The modern Jews are the same people as the old nation of Israel, and are largely consolidated around the modern State of Israel. Answer 3 It isn't true.
How much of israel is lived on by the Jewish people?
Today's Israel is a tiny sliver of land and does not represent the biblical Israel in its entirety. Israel takes up something like 0.01% of the middle east. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
