Luther was ultimately a Catholic - the early protestant reformers essentially saw themselves as steering the ship of the Church back on course rather than constructing an entirely new ship from scratch. This is evident in how various Catholic teachings carry over to those denominations, including universalism: jews can't be cursed, or have any other special fate - they are simply future converts who will surely turn to Jesus any day now.
There is increasing evidence of the jews being impostors, and not just from a Biblical angle. The jews insist they are the literal blood descendants of the twelve tribes, but then various evidence emerges indicating that [they actually have Canaanite DNA](https://archive.is/oLK5q) (not the totally separate DNA they ought to have from the Israelites' origins in the far-off land of Ur). In order to uphold their "true Israelite" LARP, they jump to the conclusion that the Israelites must have actually originated in Canaan all along, and the whole Genesis/Exodus account is fictional.
>This is important because, as mentioned, researchers have already mapped the DNA of ancient Canaanites, showing that they had a strong ancestral connection to modern-day Jewish and Arab populations.
as is this
>it would support something that experts have strongly suspected for a while, that in fact the ancient Hebrews descended from the Canaanites.
which is of course complete baloney, since the Hebrews kept conclusive records (which unfortunately were destroyed when Jerusalem was burned) about who was related to whom, and they most certainly were not related to the Canaanites (outside of a few unfortunate instances of interbreeding).
