I don't think that's true. Jupiter is just as likely to sling objects that were going to miss earth directly towards earth as it is to sling a directed to earth object away. For objects that end up landing on Jupiter, if you think that has a significant impact on Earth, you're underestimating how huge and empty the solar system is.
