the Geneva Convention laws Israel is breaking were put there because of what the Nazis did to the Jews.
pondering this is heartbreaking.

When I read the old testament it seems like this is a repeat pattern with Israel. If I stop there, the anti-semites seem to have a point. But if you look at world history, it seems like engaging in the same evils you were victim to is part of human nature, both individually and collectively. It's a sad state of things, come Lord Jesus.
I think of it like this…
The promises of God remain in tact for Israel, and always will.
But the blessing of God is no where near what Israel is doing.
I think the Abrahamic covenant was fulfilled in Christ, the Mosaic covenant was forfeited through disobedience, the Davidic covenant was kept in Christ (perpetual reign of David's descendent) but forfeited as well (the line of kingship appeared broken and the land was lost). When the Jewish leaders and large portions of the populous rejected Christ, they rejected their God in the flesh, the fulfillment of their scriptures, the hope of their messianic salvation. Those who believed in Christ inherited the blessings, and God opened those blessings to the Gentiles through Christ as branches grafted in. Salvation and blessing are still available to the Israelites, just as they are to the Gentiles, through salvation in Jesus Christ. That's what I've come to believe anyway.
