The way I understand it, the Old Testament is meant as a historical background. The New Testamenent supersedes it. Therefore that is what's valid. So even if you approach it from a Biblical point of view, the promised land stuff and Israel being God's chosen people is in the Old Testament therefore superceded by anything said in the new Testament. However, Jews don't acknowledge the New Testament IIRC so this fits in with Jewish but not Christian views.
