Israel is the United Kingdom of Israel, prior to the civil war that separated it into the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah. Jews are those who come from the Kingdom of Judah.
It's where all Jews are Israelites, but not all Israelites are Jews(as some Israelites also came from the post-division Kingdom of Israel, so are not Jews)

Israel is a country. Judaism is a religion. So not all Jews are Israelis (they live all over the globe so they are the nationality of the country they live in, not the country that was founded for them). Now that I'm looking at your question/statement again I'm wondering if this is what you meant but I don't think so. The wording isn't quite right. Clarify?

1. And?
2. The Jews met people in Israel when theoriginallyly showed up... So yeah... I did know that...

Yes, strange as it may seem, other people do know about such things. But it has nothing to do with the country called Israel, that was founded just after the 2nd WW when they forcibly took it from the Palestinians.

I'm guessing you are referring to the fact that Jacob was renamed Israel after wrestling with the angel and all the Jews descended from Jacob.

the jews came from the tribe of Judah and were not called jews until this tribe was established there were 10 tribes of israelites and the other two were jews for they were under the rule of Judah the southern Kingdom the tribe of Judah and the tribe of the levites and jerusalem was their capitol

Israel was founded in the last hundred years. Judaism has been around for over 5,000 years.
Therefore, you're f--king backwards.

Do you know that you don't get to define who is a Jew or who isn't?
ONLY the Jews get to do that.
So bugger off.
