I always understood Nietzsche’s references to Jews to be purely metaphorical. Their main purpose in the narrative is to convince the Romans to accept Jesus. That does not sound like any Jews that actually existed.
(I justify ignoring the debate in early Christianity over whether they were Jews by leaping ahead to their conclusion that they weren’t.)
Thus, I’m not sure whether Nietzsche’s writings give any useful evidence over whether he preferred Jews or Germans.
[Nietzsche] was trying to get at the roots of individual judgement and thriving.

That’s a really good short paraphrase.
