Is it our fault that you're ignorant of "Jews" not being a religious definition for us? Jew, or Yehudi as it is in Hebrew, means "Of Judea". The first reference to Jew rather than the more general Hebrew was during the rule of the Persian Empire, after the Kindom of Judah remained the final remnant of the Tribes of Israel. Mordechai ha-Yehudi - the Judean - the Jew.
Or did you not realize that Judaism merely means "the faith of the Jewish people"?
But what do I bother, eh? You think we all dream of ethnic cleansing because we call our country The Jewish State. We're the Jews, observer, and this is our country - hence the Jewish country.
