To summarize, God is no more displeased with the Jews than with anybody else who turns their back on Him. The only difference is that, as God's chosen people the Jews have a special place in God's plan for the ages, even though as a nation, they presently reject their Messiah and are largely secular.

In the Old Testament the history of God's dealings with them is outlined, as well as the many pleadings of the prophets and leaders such as Moses for them to 'return to the Lord' and His ways. The fact that they continue to exist as nation despite many attempts to exterminate them as a people, and have now returned to their own land, is testimony to God's hand upon them for good. Many other nations, such as the Hittites, which existed in Bible times exist no longer.

Numerous Bible passages (possibly thousands) could be cited to answer this question, as the Israelites were described a number of times metaphorically as a 'stiffnecked people'. But, since they are no more 'stiffnecked' and stubborn than any others who hear the truth and turn away quoting such would give a de-contextualized impression of Biblical truth. God has had a lot of direct dealings with the Jewish nation, through whom the Messiah has come, as foretold in their scriptures, and so has, in a sens spoken to them more. The very same verses also apply indirectly, and in many cases directly to others who are not Jews.

Such Bible verses, if quoted, also would give a false view to justify the anti-Christian perspective that Christians are anti-semitic, which they are not. So, to answer the question, I quote Paul from Romans who tells of all the benefits God has given to the Jews. That they, like so many others, have turned away is a cause of sadness.

1I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 2That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 3For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 4Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;5Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
