Not true. You do NOT view them as "just like anyone else in need of salvation", nor do you believe God thinks of them in that same way. The truth is you believe they are DIFFERENT, and that God views them differently as well. You believe they are the people mentioned in the Bible as Israel. the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You believe they are special, and deserve special treatment, like they shouldn't be criticized, or that if someone doesn't support them they must be "hateful antisemites".
Look inside yourself, and compare your thoughts and feelings towards Jews in Israel with your thoughts and feelings towards Christians in the West Bank, Syria, or Lebanon, or within Israel itself.

You want to bring dispensationalism into the conversation, but the bottom line is that they are just people.

Just people... who our government gives billions and billions of dollars to, in order to secure their borders, while our own borders are wide open, while these recipients of our largesse (tribute?) hamper and hinder and oppose our own efforts to secure our borders... just people who demand the right to live in their own ethnostate while labelling anyone else desiring the same exact thing as being naziswhowanttokillsixmillionjews...just people that our sons and daughters bleed and die to protect, and to further their aims, while bombing everyone who Israel opposes...
This is the classic, historical definition of being a TRIBUTARY, of being CONQUERED.

And it just sounds like y’all hate them or something.

That's because not worshipping the official god is always "hateful". Anyone who is critical or fails to bow when the shofars are tweeted is accused of "hate". And the accusation no longer even registers on the radar, it has been overused.

You also don’t know when or who among them will have their eyes opened. Who would have thought Saul/Paul would believe in Jesus Christ. You are writing them off and it isn’t your place to do that.

I haven't written anybody off. I'm just saying they don't need my money, adulation, adoration, nor do I need to sit by as Scripture is twisted and lies are peddled by the ignorant.
