...which specifically commands to love the Jewish people as thyself.

If it's limited to the Jewish people, then why the parable of the Good Samaritan? Samaritans were hated (understatement) by the Jews at that time.

Precisely; think of how the Jews viewed the Samaritans in terms of how Christians commonly view Moslems. Yet the question I posed is whether the Jewish people are at the very least, the least of Jesus' brethren, not are they the only brethren of the Messiah.
