I was raised LCMS (I am no longer). I never heard a word against the Jews and never had the slightest thoughts against them until ten years ago when I found out that they and the liberals are trying to blame Christianity for the holocaust. That is a slander which cannot be allowed to stand.

According to the New Testament, Christians are the chosen, the elect. That is nothing to be prideful about. Jesus made believers into one people. The unbelieving branches were removed and we were grafted in. Is that replacement?

This, in some ways, is my experience as well. My Father and I were antisemitic. In LCMS worship and Bible study we were the true Israel, This was fine with me. The real Israel did not really exist, after all they rejected Christ. P#4 When I first met him felt very bad for the poor Palestinians and equated Israel with white South Africa and apartheid.
