“his people”
This is where we part ways. I don’t buy it.

Good to see you. Don't really want to go down this track (slide), but the language is very precise but this may not be for everyone so apologies in advance.
I was meaning "His people" in a general way to mean the Jewish people, the descendants of Abraham and I think you took my correct meaning. That is good because when I mentioned antisemitism I meant it in a general way, against all Jewish people.
But there is more to "His people" then that and includes all people, Jew or Gentile that believe the promise to Abraham that in him all nations will be blessed by his seed which is Jesus Christ who offers the free gift of salvation to whoever will believe in Him and follow Him.
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Genesis 3:15
6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. Galatians 3:6-9
16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Galatians 3:16
