It seems to me as a Jew that every non-heretical Christian believes Christianity is the ‘true Israel’

I don't know how you can find that in the true evangelical Christian position on Israel and it's promised land. In the traditional mainstream Protestant denominations, definitely yes, but not in the evangelical community. Every evangelical bible teacher and/or pastor who I have read or heard speak on the issue has confirmed the validity of present day Israel's absolute right to the land promised to Abraham's heirs through Issac and Jacob.

I'm not sure of the current official RC or Orthodox position, but I know that historically they have both endorsed Augustine's mistaken doctrine of "replacement theology".

...he true evangelical Christian position on Israel and it's promised land...

Certainly some Christians do not understand the consequences of the church as 'true Israel'. Most seem to want it both ways by claiming the land of Israel for Jews who have converted to Christianity. And some are just dishonest.
