I don't know what he was thinking.
You must have forgotten what you learned from the Bible, if you had learned it at all, but if you look at the lives of the many characters in scripture you'll see they were far from perfect. In fact some were down right bad hombres. David was a murderer and an adulterer, and the was no sacrifice for adultery and murder. Death was the sentence, yet God called David a man after His own heart.
Luther was way off base, and much of his diatribe against the Jews ultimately led to the slaughter of millions.
Not good. But Luther's failure to see that the Jews were God's people, basically because of the failure of His and his contemporaries during the reformation to understand Romans 9-11, and the prevailing view of replacement theology at that time, is no excuse for those that followed centuries later to seek the extermination of the Jews.
History bears testimony of God's pronouncement to Abraham that "I will bless them that bless you and curse them that curse you"(paraphrase) is still in effect.
The Jews are still here and their enemies are dead and gone.
Go to Israel. A Jewish tour guide will show you Roman ruins.
