That is quite true. The question is not whether God had predestined but what he has predestined. Regarding Israel, God did not predestined that every genetic Jew would be saved. What he predestined was that Messiah would come through the seed of Abraham. The fate of the individual is in the hand of the individual.
Example - God predestined that Christ will come from Abraham, Isaac, Jakob, David, Salomon... Josef, Mary. Therefore He also had to predestine their fate and fate of everything around them (parents, childbearing, deaths, places, times...).
If even the smallest thing in the universe is not certain, the overall outcome of creation, history, future etc. is random...
My point is, everything is in the hand of Creator.
