In Christian Theology the Jews are the people who killed Christ, and their descendants are those who still refuse to accept him. This is the scriptural view, and it was only dropped by the Catholic Church because of the Holocaust.
Bit more then that. A political unit who were Jewish voted to kill Christ. How many of Christ early followers were Jewish and how many of his disciples were as well.

Also in Scripture the view is that Jews are the roots and Christian's the branches of the same tree.

If one is to accept the NT then one has to accept that the OT was correct within its time period, so Christians should accept that, until at least the coming of Christ, Jews were God's chosen people.

As for dietary restrictions one can look at how lethal shell fish and pork is in the desert sun so it is a no brainer to not eat it.

Also in a PC context as far as OT vs NT being correct, JC is the patch for the human soul. And having a new OS means being able to access new things.
