Good Morning,
Some Jews say that the Bible is antisemetic. Some Christians are antisemetic. Let's just call it what it is. Jew haters are gonna hate because they are functionally illiterate. The whole term antisemetic is a smoke screen. Arabs are semitic people, too. The son's of Ishmael are semites.
Jews are specifically God's people because they keep his covenant. They are not Jews because they are a race. They are not Jews by blood only. If you believe the Bible, and I do, all of us come from Adam and Noah. Certainly David and Solomon spread their seed in many directions.
The Gentiles are the foreigners (Ethnos in Greek) because they have lost the traditions and practices of God's people. Any time a people were conquered by the Jews it was because the people were pagans, sacrificing their own children to idols. They needed to go.
If you read your Bible you will also see that in the New and Old Testaments that Jews were commanded to show respect and kindness to strangers. That the law was also for the strangers who assimilated and became part of the community.
Exodus 12:48 KJV “And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.”
Certainly the beauty of the Bible is that the Jews who kept God's word did not dilute it. The imperfections and the punishments for sacrilege were written into the scriptures. Who is perfect? Only Jesus Christ was perfect and he would say he was only doing what his father commanded of him. The key is that he did not waiver. He was and is the living Word of God.

Paul addresses the Romans
Romans 1:1 KJV “Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,”
...
Romans 1:14-16 KJV “I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
15. So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Today's Psalm:
Psalm 34:1-7 KJV “I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
