...dealing in what you might call "rhetorical Jews" rather than real Jews. It's also important to remember that for much of Augustine's lifetime Jews were Roman citizens with the rights of citizens. This begins to change in the late fourth century, when the Emperor decides to link government closely with one particular form of Christianity - a big faith-based initiative. But the real social disenfranchisement of Jews occurred long after Augustine. Medieval persecutions and - much later - the Holocaust, were not events that Augustine could have imagined...
