You are just shopping the Bible for passages to quote. Jesus was a Jew, his family was Jewish, the Apostles that he chose were Jewish, those who followed him were Jewish, and the first church of Jerusalem was Jewish, as were the churches in other cities, including Rome. The Epistles were written for Jews (notably the Book of Hebrews).
You, on the on the other hand, continue to conflate condemnation of Pharisees with condemnation of all Jews. They are still open to the New Testament and the Bible does not declare them closed from it. Moreover, the injunction of the Bible is for every believer to be open to every unbeliever and not judge, lest ye be judged. They may live in darkness---for now---but it is not for you, nor anyone, to construe their situation as a call for condemnation. They are to be pitied. Plenty of Gentiles living in darkness, too, out of pride and paganism, but do we cut them off or remain open to them?
I'm going to give you two basic points, and then I'm not going to respond to you anymore because it's obvious you won't listen to or read obvious truth. I don't waste my time on fools.
1.) The viewpoint I have shared is consistent with traditional, orthodox Christianity going back to the 1st Century. The church has seen the Jews as a failed people, who were given all the treasures of God, including His Son, and rejected them, misused them, squandered them, rebelled against them, and killed them. This is the viewpoint of the Catholic Church, Orthodox Church, and Protestant Church. The reformer Martin Luther absolutely reamed the Jews for their rejection of God's truth and the Messiah, Jesus Christ. It wasn't until the mainstream introduction of dispensationalism into Christianity through the Scofield study bible that Israel came to be viewed as "God's chosen people". In the early 1900's, dispensationalism resulted in the Evangelical Christian movement. C.I. Scofield was funded by the Zionists (including the Rothschilds) to propagandize Christians into exalting the Jewish people and serving their interests. This is when the term "JudeoChristian Values" was invented to create a connection between Jews & Christians. Words can be propaganda. Evangelical Christianity is heavily swayed by this propaganda even until today, in 2024.

2.) Yes, Jesus was a Jew. God the Father sent the Jewish people His Son as their last chance to repent. He had given them the law, the prophets, and His blessings. They had perverted/killed/squandered all of it. This is illustrated in Jesus' parable of the vineyard. Since I don't think you'll go read it, I'll spoon feed it to you here:
Matthew 21:33-46 "There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved away. When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the farmers to collect his fruit. The farmers seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third. Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the farmers treated them the same way. Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said. But when the farmers saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’ So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers? He will bring those wretches to a wretched end, and he will give the vineyard to other farmers, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.”
The vineyard is the Kingdom of God. The original farmers are the Jewish people. The servants sent were the prophets and givers of the law (whom the Jews abused and killed). The son is Jesus. The owner of the vineyard is God the Father.
Jesus (the son) was sent as their last chance. "Certainly they will respect my son." They didn't. They threw him out and killed him, resulting in the final proclamation from the owner (God the Father): those wretched farmers will be brought to a wretched end and he will give the vineyard to other farmers (the gentiles) who will treat the vineyard and its owner with honor.
Immediately after telling this parable, Jesus told His Jewish audience: "Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit (the gentiles)."
This is still true today. As I told you previously, less than 2% of Jewish people believe in Jesus as their Messiah. This is lowest percentage of ANY RACE/PEOPLE GROUP in 2024.
Various churches have maintained various beliefs. I don't have any reading of Scofield or dispensationalism. Condemnation of "the Jews" is not doctrine of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, which preceded Scofield, and all you are doing is invoking an argument from authority, which is a notorious rhetorical fallacy. ("JudeoChristian values" is a reference to the Ten Commandments, if it refers to anything.)
It was not the "last chance" for all the Jews who came to Christ during the period following Christ's crucifixion. Nor is it ever. You talk as though Christ's crucifixion was not pre-known and expected, yet Jesus was at pains to predict that this would be exactly what happens. Without it, we would not have the demonstration of the New Testament in his blood and body.
It is not up to you to determine the fate of the Jews. It is up to each one of them. You have no hand in it. They are not yours to condemn. (And Luther's writings on the Jews are about the least recognized of his far more relevant works.)
