maybe G-d has forgotten everything he said to us?
"Zion says, 'The Lord has forsaken me, My Lord has forgotten me.' Can a woman forget her baby, or disown the child of her womb? Though she might forget, I never could forget you. See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands, your walls are ever before Me."
- Isaiah 49:14
" 'For the mountains may move and the hills be shaken, but My loyalty shall never move from you, nor My covenant of peace be broken,' says the Lord, who takes you back in love."
- isaiah 54:10

OK, this is hard to explain, but I'm going to try.
Galatians 3:10 says this:
All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law."
Jesus comes along and in effect says "I'll carry the load for you" and the some of the Jews say "No we like doing this the hard way." (Read Leviticus to get an idea of what I mean by the hard way).
That's pretty much it.
So not only did he not break an oath, he was saying in effect, "You've got a heavy weight on your shoulder, let me carry it." And Jews and other who don't believe in Christ are essentially saying "That's fine, we got it."

The Jews broke off their covenant with God. In Luke it tells where Jesus wept for Jerusalem because they failed to recognize the visitation of the Messiah. He went on to prophesy the destruction of Jerusalem because of that failure.
The Messiah, Jesus Christ, had been promised and spoke of at great length to the Jewish people throughout the Old Testament. The Advent of Christ should not have been a big surprise to the Jewish people. In fact, some of the Pharasee even recognized who He was. They knew what the OT scriptures had been telling them.
Jesus Christ did not come on the scene and change things as much as He came to fulfil the Old prophecies. Read Isaiah for the most detailed prophecy of the coming Messiah. This was written some 700 years before Jesus was born.

No
God divorced Israel and Judah.
See: Jeremiah 3.
Jesus was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Judah. And the Apostles continued the work of God to Israel and the rest of mankind.
When Judah and Israel put away their idolatry, whatever it may be, they can return to God Almighty.
Certain rites of sacrifice and festivals were done away with before Christ came. See: Isaiah 1 particularly verses 13 & 14.
There is no hell and God, as taught by Christ, is love.

Because according to Christianity God plays gotta games.
He tells the Jews that these laws are eternal and that to do good you must abide by them.
Deuteronomy 5:29
Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!
Then a thousand years latter he sends some guy and now wham bam forget everything before and if you dont believe in him you will suffer for all eternity.
And Christians wonder why Jews cannot take them seriously.

YES according to Daniel 9:24-27 and Matthew 23:37 the covenant finished three years later of Jesus´s death year 36.
that event is registered in the book of Acts 10, the whole chapter.

What you have come to realize is very astute and correct. It is not a question- it is a statement. It is a statement that all of the major tenets of christianity cannot at all be rectified with G-ds word as he spoke through the prophets. It is not that G-d broke his oath with the Jews through Jesus, it is just that the teachings of Jesus are false and not of G-d. G-d's word still, and always stands, as you have said. It is not G-d who lied, it is Jesus and his apostles and Paul who have lied.

Um, I'm pretty sure the Pope said that Jews could go to heaven due to the covenant that they had (have) with God.
