In reading Martin Luther, it hit me. The Jews were known to be scumbags throughout history.
“There is an ancient and long-standing charge of Jewish misanthropy, or hatred of mankind. One of the most famous instances was that of the Roman historian Tacitus, who wrote in his Annals (circa 110 AD) of the Jews’ “hatred of the human race” (odio humanitarian generis; XV).

"And thou Bethlehem Ephrathah art little to be among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me, that shall be the ruler in Israel: whose goings forth have been from the beginning and from everlasting. --Micah 5:2 --1599 Geneva Bible
Jesus is King. But they rejected him. Books of John makes it plain. The covenant of sin and death is over these people. The blessings of Abraham and salvation belong to Jesus believers. That's made so plain in scripture. No man can justify what God has cursed. They chose the curse of death and rejected Jesus.
