Semantic point: Jews believe themselves to be God's Chosen People. They do not believe that they are the only people with divine-spark (i.e. God's people vs. a people not of God).

The Jewish understanding of the term "Chosen People" is that the Jews were given an ethical and spiritual mission which is unique because God chose them. It is not an ethnocentric or racist view as it is often portrayed, but much closer to the Fellowship of the Ring in The Lord of the Rings series. The Fellowship has a special and unique mission, but that does not make the members of the Fellowship any more special than individuals outside of the Fellowship.
