thats not what I say - it's what he says all throughout the bible. Nowhere in the Bible will you see god claiming to be the god of any other people than israel
Abraham is the ancestor of Israel. It's an ancestral myth and doesn't expand gods portfolio of people whatsoever. God clearly states many times throughout the bible that he only the god of israel and he clearly has a hateful, disdainful view of all the peoples and nations who are not israel.
"I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac" is the first that comes to mind. "God of Shem" and "God of Nahor" also come up. Nice try, thanks for playing.
Abraham Isaac and Jacob - all a precursor to Israel.
This Jewish ancestral myth doesn't incorporate anyone other than Israel. God says he is EXCLUSIVELY the god of israel and all us other nations and people can either serve his people, lick the dust off their feet, or perish
what do you mean 'no'? Are you saying he doesn't refer to himself as the god of israel?
Perhaps you attempt to belittle His title by only being the God of Israel? Then I'm saying it won't work.

He claims to be the God of Abraham too before Israel.
