A circulating graphic is entitled "Titles of the Jews". However, proper exegesis shows exactly what the Bible (NKJV today) says about it, and it does not apply these to "the Jews" as a collective.

The conclusion given is "True Israel is the Church", citing Ro8:27-28 which does not contain that thought, and Ga6:16 which speaks of "the Israel of God", application not stated. There is no verse in many translations containing both "Israel" and "church".
I conclude then that there are only two verses here from which titles for 'the Jews' might be taken (John 5:18 and 1 Thess. 2:14); and 'the Jews' usually refers to a contextual subgroup of Jews and not to all Jews either individually or collectively as the phrase "Titles of the Jews" would imply.
If we were to use the data above to attempt a further conclusion accurately, we'd note there are several terms that can be taken to represent the national entity Judea and its predecessors, though it does not appear there is a simple term intended to mean every citizen of the nation without exception. These terms might be used to construct a more accurate list of national curses currently imputed to the Judean nation and its successor people. Of course, these curses are similar to Biblical curses on other nations, and have their compensating blessings too. But seeking to give full credit to the meme creator's intent it would seem the best that could be said is that the Bible does impose a few negative statements about the national-political entity once named Judea.
If the highly disorganized creator had desired to make a proper list of "titles of the Jews", exegetically he would have searched for Hebrew Yehudi, Aramaic Yehudai, and Greek Ioudaios. This would turn up:
Of whom "the eye of their God was upon the elders" Ezr5:5; for whom "relief and deliverance will arise" Es4:14; who "had light and gladness, joy and honor ..., a feast and a holiday" Es8:16-17; of whom "JESUS ... has been born King" Mt1:25-2:2; of whom "IS JESUS THE KING" Mt27:37; who "do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way, holding the tradition of the elders" Mk7:3; of whom "the Passover ... was at hand" Jn2:13; of whom "was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler" Jn3:1; who "have no dealings with Samaritans" Jn4:9; of whom "salvation is" Jn4:22; of whom "the Passover ... was near" Jn6:4, 11:55; who "sought to kill him" Jn7:1; of whom "Feast of Tabernacles was at hand" Jn7:2; of whom "there was a division ... because of these sayings" Jn10:19; of whom "many ... believed in Jesus" Jn12:11; whose "officers ... arrested Jesus" Jn18:12; who "Caiaphas ... advised ... it was expedient that one man should die for the people" Jn18:14; who "in synagogues and in the temple ... always meet" Jn18:20; of whom "many ... read this title" Jn19:20; whose "custom ... is to bury" Jn19:40; "devout men, from every nation under heaven" Ac2:5; among whom "Cornelius ... has a good reputation" Ac10:22; for whom "unlawful it is ... to keep company with or go to one of another nation" Ac10:28; of whom "all things ... He did ... in the land" Ac10:39; of whom "they preached the word of God in the synagogues" Ac13:5; of whom "many ... followed Paul and Barnabas" Ac13:43; of whom "a great multitude ... believed" Ac14:1; of whom "many myriads ... believed, and they are all zealous for the law" Ac21:20; for whom "the gospel of Christ ... is the power of God to salvation ... first" Ro1:16; to whom "God ... will render ... tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil ... first ... but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good ... first" Ro2:5-10; "under sin" Ro3:9; of whom "is He the God" Ro3:29; who "request a sign" 1Co1:22; from whom "five times I received forty stripes minus one" 2Co11:24; who "knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ ... have believed in Christ Jesus" Ga2:15-16.
This is a quick pass for Scriptures that reasonably could apply to all "the Jews" as a nation with agents, rather than to a subgroup, besides John 5:18. With a single concordance review I found 35 real titles compared to the 34 fake titles presented. It appears good exegesis is easy, and yet some people seem to pretend it without making any attempt at it, indicating that good exegesis is not their true intent.
(The same methodology can be used to discuss how Jesus was a Jew, which can be proven separately.)
Wow tell me more about the dumb Jewish fables you’ve built your entire life around.
I use the Christian Bible. Do you prefer the Havamal perhaps and would you like to discuss Odin's offering himself to himself?
Here are some Biblical statements about Jesus being a Jew:
(1) "Then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place" Es4:14 is taken as a prophecy of God's Messianic intervention; "Place" is taken as meaning "God".
(2) "Ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you" Zc 8:23 is also a Messianic prophecy, such as when the sick woman took hold of Jesus's Jewish tallith prayer shawl.
(3)-(21) "King of the Jews" Mt2:2, 27:11, 29, 37, Mk15:2, 9, 12, 18, 26, Lk23:3, 37, 38, Jn18:33, 39, 19:3, 19, 21, 21, and "He saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!" Jn19:14 Jesus is King of the Jews.
(22) "And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant" Lk7:3 shows Gentiles didn't approach Jesus as a Gentile but through Jewish leadership.
(23)-(26) "And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem" Jn2:13, and "After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem" Jn5:1, and "Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing" Jn18:21, and "There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand" Jn19:42 Jesus kept Jewish custom even in death.
(27)-(28) "After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized" Jn3:22, and "And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree" Ac10:39 Jesus was of the Jewish nation.
(29) "How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans" Jn4:9 Samaritan identifies Jesus as Jewish.
(30) "Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews" Jn4:22 Jesus identifies as Jewish.
(31) "Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?" Jn18:35 Pilate identifies Jesus as Jewish.
(32) "Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury" Jn 19:40 Jesus was buried as a Jew, as he had arranged with Nicodemus.
(33)-(37) "Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ" Ac18:5, and "For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ" Ac18:22, and "For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God" 1Co 1:22-24 Jesus is the Jewish Messiah.
(38) "Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law" Ac21:20 literal myriads (over 30,000) of Jews, in Jerusalem alone, believe Jesus is the Jewish Messiah.
(39) "For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes" Ac24:5 the Nazarene (Christian) sect was Jewish with a Jewish leader.
(40) "While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all" Ac25:8 preaching Jesus's life was perfectly aligned with Jewish law.
(41)-(42) "For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God" Ro 2:28-29 Jesus is also Jewish by inward circumcision.
The Bible says in 42 places that Jesus was born King of the Jews, was the Jewish Deliverance out of Elsewhere, was the Jew held by the nations, kept Jewish customs, was a citizen of the Jewish nation, identified as a Jew, was called a Jew, was ruled in court as a Jew, died a Jew, was the Jewish Messiah, had myriads of Jewish believers, led a Jewish sect, followed Jewish law, and was a spiritual Jew too.
