“Here in south Texas, quite a number of Christians are outright friendly toward someone because they are Jewish “

Because they believe in the Abrahamic covenant and that God will bless those who bless you.

I know it. It is people like Pastor John Hagee and his congregants. They believe that there are two Covenants, one with the Jewish People and one with non-Jews...and since a Covenant is, essentially, a Holy contract (that God will never break), God can certainly have 2 (or more) such contracts, much like we can have an employment contract and a mortgage contract.

These are GOOD people - willing and even eager to live in peace with their fellow human beings, even if those other people have somewhat different beliefs than they do. It is, I believe, the ideal that God set up for us, which ideal has been largely ignored and/or corrupted over time by us fallible human beings.
