Christians view Jews as God's chosen people. The Christian old testament is (mostly) identical to the Jewish Tannack (holy book). While some Jews accepted Jesus as their Messiah and saviour, others did not and are still waiting for the Messiah.
After Jesus' death and resurrection, God gave His Spirit to those who followed Jesus and sent them out to spread His salvation to the non Jews ie. Christians. Some due to this, such as the Catholic Church, believe in what is called "replacement theology". This is the beleif that the Jews are no longer important to God unless they confess Christ. This is however flawed as even a basic reading of The Bible makes it clear that the Jews are, and will always be, God's chosen people.
Most bible believing Christians have the same aims and beliefs as the Jews yet due to Jesus' sacrifice, Christians are not bound by the same ritual and sacrificial laws the Jews are (the eating of pork for example). But would strongly support the Jewish claim to a Zionist state of Israel and the belief in the return (or first coming for Jews) of the Messiah, following certain prophecies detailed throughout the Old Testament.
