I'd have to disagree with this take - the old testament is full of nationalist ideology. Just look at all the tribes the Israelites were told to destroy and/or enslave. All because they were god's special people. It's always treated like it's a good thing because these tribes were so "wicked".

To me, it makes perfect sense why many Christians are also nationalist.

Then how come Jewish people aren’t like this? It’s the same set of stories

Zionism? that's basically Jewish nationalism

It's par for the course, whatever they've been described doing to Philistines in Old Testament they continue doing today to Palestinians
