I understand SeekAndFind's point.

I don’t understand yours. Please explain.

I'm not sure that I do understand his point - is it that there are many Jewish sociologists who are taking the Palestinian side? (Side question: Where is it written that any of this group is actually Jewish?)

Regardless, there are plenty of Jewish people whose only Jewishness is cultural, people who don't worship the God of the Jews.

My point is that tarring all Jews with the same brush is as unwarranted today as it was 2,000+ years ago.

Concluding that the purpose of the post was to "tar all Jews with the same brush" may, or may not, be accurate. You have already made it clear that you don't know, so why do that?

I think it is more fruitful to consider the what was placed on display with these few words in post 11:

Judas was a Jew

So was Jesus.

In Jeremiah God has said: The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? And there is no one who has ever walked on this earth in the flesh who has overcome this wickedness except the Lord Himself, Jesus Christ. He became flesh and gave Himself, a Worthy Sacrifice, to rescue us from ourselves. This is the essence of the contrast between Jesus and Judas. Regardless of whether one considers an individual to be completely evil or simply misguided, there is hope and forgiveness at the cross of Christ.

God selected the Jews to be a people apart. Along with the human lineage of our Savior, one of His other purposes was to wright parables in history predominantly with the Jews and the nation of Israel. Scripture is straight forward on this issue: God loves Israel, and if you love God you love what He loves.

ps, did you intend to imply distance with the phrase; "God of the Jews"?
