24. Genesis 15:18 doesn't say what Christians think it says.

There are translation errors.

The Nile river in Hebrew is "y'or", the word used in 15:18 is "nahar". That's a tributary by Port Said, around the Sinai Peninsula. The "great river" boundaries in the section include tributaries and is a generalized ideal.

Regardless, Jews don't need the Bible (or the Holocaust) to justify the existence of Israel. Jews are indigenous to the Levant and have every right to live in the nation-state of Israel.
