Let's give it to the sea people.

Of course we would first need to figure out who the sea people were but that should be doable relative to the current situation.

The bible is quite clear on that. The country was forcefully taken from the aramaics because the israelites were too lazy for working in egypt. And "we're the holy people get fucked" gotta be the most shitty claim to a piece of land i've ever read.

They can't even govern their own country

'Whom' would be correct if we suspected it belonged to an individual, but 'who' is correct for a group, and we're asking specifically about nations. Also, no-one would be confused by this, which makes your misguided, ill-mannered pedantry triply unnecessary.

A nation is a singular entity in this context, not a group of people. Moreover - a group is also singular in a grammatical sense. We are asking for one out of a set. Whom is very much the correct choice. It's English's sad attempt at a dative case. Although I recognise that it is acceptable to use who instead of whom, this is mostly because native speakers have been doing it wrong for so long the grammar has finally been changed to allow for it.

It still seems very much wrong to me - it hurts similarly as the popular "would of"

I definitely would of used whom over who.
