This may be explained by the fact that Pat is a staunch Roman Catholic...It's no secret that the 'religion' adheres to replacement theology whereby God is done with the Jews and the Catholic church is modern day Israel with the old promises and inheritance belonging to the Catholic church...
Pat seems to see the Jews/Israel as no one special in God's or anyone else's eyes...
The RC Church would quibble with this characterization. She sees Herself as the fulfillment, as foretold by the Old Testament prophets, not the replacement.

Then he would be unfamiliar with what his Church has to say about the Jews. " Nevertheless, according to the Apostle, the Jews still remain most dear to God because of their fathers, for He does not repent of the gifts He makes nor of the calls He issues." --- from the Vatican II "Declaration on the Relationship of the Church to Non-Christian Religions."
Your misunderstanding and apparent bias ('religion'?) doesn't make your explanation very convincing.
