They are called Jews in the Bible beginning with the return from exile.

I don't know if/when it will replay, but History Channel had an episode of
their "Lost Worlds" series on Monday titled "Jesus' Jerusalem".
It has nifty computer reimaging of the Temple as built by Herod.
An incredible work, plus the computer graphics showed the incredible
four stories "basements" of the Temple Mount that hold up the complex.
Just incredible building. Would be awesome today, but even more amazing given
the tools available for the job back then.

"Persians used to be builders and now they are destroyers."
They are trying to redeem their former reputation...by building nuclear bombs.

Hey, we've got a plethora of Liberals and Democrats around who are arguing that being an anti-zionist doesn't mean you're necessarily an anti-semite, so why not Jews that aren't Jews.
Ain't going to debate either premise though since my experience has been that there are several varieties of anti-semites around, but they share one thing in common, they hate Jews no matter what they are called.

Try the Book of Esther. It's one of the last parts of the Old Testament to be written, but it mentions Jews often enough. Older scriptures don't use the term because most Israelites came from other tribes besides Judah, until Sargon II destroyed the northern kingdom of Israel in 722 B.C.

True, I met a Jew in another forum recently who was aggressively trying to hide his heritage, by claiming that the anti-Zionist Neturei Karta was the only legitimate Jewish sect.
On the other hand, I've been calling myself Berosus, a Babylonian name, since I first went online in 1997, but nobody thinks I'm an Iraqi because of it.

Well, in the days before Islam, the Persians really had a thing for gardens. I even heard once that our word "Paradise" comes from "pairidaeza," the Farsi word for garden.

Persians weren't Islamic back then. We need an unIslamic Persia.Quite a few intelligent "Persians" say the same thing. But not in Iran.

Please find me Scripture that backs up your use of the word Jews. Jews and Israel are two extremely different people groups. Jews and Judahites are two different people groups.No, they aren't two different groups, they are one people...Hebrews.
