Not anymore, Gideon300. After they rejected Jesus as the Messiah and prodded the Roman government to execute him, that was the final nail in their coffin in terms of their being considered God's chosen people. Scripture confirms that.
Let's get the facts straight. The jews did not reject Jesus. The pharisees of the time those who thought were in charge of the Jewish people. Rejected him.
This is one of Satan's biggest lies and caused alot of confusion and war.
Jesus adressed the pharisees as vipers, white wash sepulchers. Children of the devil.
As the church today struggle with exposing the wolves in our assembly so Jesus did the same then.
This lie is what has caused the separation between jew and gentile and has given satan a strong foot hold in the matter.
Yes there is a blindness that Jesus spoke of, yes there is a curse that is upon the generations that was invoked.
But in no way is God a covenant breaker. He will redeem and restore.
We as the church are to pray for Israel. To bless Israel, in so doing to be blessed.
Jesus said No man takes my life I lay it down. As he repeatedly asked the father to forgive them as well as us.
The temple authority and teachers taught obedience to the law would save them. Salvation of works.

According to scripture, they, as a people, rejected Jesus as the Messiah. In fact, when Pilate told the crowd that they had the choice of setting either Jesus free or else set free Barabbas, a notorious criminal, notice below who the common people decided to save. Focus on the words bolded in red:
Matthew 27:15
Now from festival to festival, it was the custom of the governor to release a prisoner to the crowd, whomever they wanted.
Matthew 27:16
Just at that time they were holding a notorious prisoner called Bar·abʹbas.
Matthew 27:17
So when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them: “Which one do you want me to release to you, Bar·abʹbas or Jesus the so-called Christ?”
Matthew 27:20
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Bar·abʹbas, but to have Jesus put to death.
Matthew 27:21
In response the governor said to them: “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said: “Bar·abʹbas.”
Matthew 27:22
Pilate said to them: “What, then, should I do with Jesus the so-called Christ?” They all said: “To the stake with him!”
Matthew 27:23
He said: “Why? What bad thing did he do?” Still they kept shouting out all the more: “To the stake with him!”
Matthew 27:24
Seeing that it did no good but, rather, an uproar was arising, Pilate took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying: “I am innocent of the blood of this man. You yourselves must see to it.”
Matthew 27:25
At that all the people said in answer: “Let his blood come upon us and upon our children.”
Now, run that by me again that only the Pharisees and Satan the Devil wanted Jesus dead.
