“In Judaism, the concept of the Jews as chosen people (Hebrew: הָעָם הַנִבְחַר hāʿām hanīvḥar) is the belief that the Jews as a subset, via partial descent from the ancient Israelites, are also chosen people, i.e. selected to be in a covenant with God.”
“According to Deuteronomy, when the Lord delivers the Israelites to the land, the other nations will be cast out, and “thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them”
“But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire. For thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth””
They don’t have that self awareness. The indoctrination starts at birth.

Sure except most Jews don’t apply that literally.
I heard a saying; Many Jews don’t believe in God, but they believe he gave them Israel.
