I have asked this question to my church friends, and they all are “but Israel!” I try to broach the subject about Zionism vs Jewish people of origin and they aren’t ready to listen.
I think it can be particularly hard in evangelical churches because the 4 gospels, which heavily feature Jesus vs the Jews, aren't read quite as much as in old style churches.
The Pharisees are simply Jews who put the oral tradition above the Scripture, which is the same as most of the modern Jews.
Gotta remember the Jews crucified our Lord and saviour, and blaspheme him every time they speak of Him.

That sin in them (the Jews) will lead to their destruction.
