    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?

    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.

    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.
