BTW, Yehudi does not mean “Jewish,” but of Yehuda’s tribe. The two are not interchangeable,except to followers of the idiocy of Hal Lindsay. Judaism is phariseeism, not a genetic label, but the name of a man made sect.

    Judah (Hebrew: יְהוּדָה‎‎, Standard Yehuda Tiberian Yəhūḏāh) was, according to the Book of Genesis, the fourth son of Jacob and Leah, the founder of the Israelite Tribe of Judah. By extension, he is indirectly eponymous of the Kingdom of Judah, the land of Judea and the word "Jew".

    The Hebrew name for Judah, Yehudah (יהודה), literally "thanksgiving" or "praise," is the noun form of the root Y-D-H (ידה), "to thank" or "to praise."[2] His birth is recorded at Gen. 29:35; upon his birth, Leah exclaims, "This time I will praise the LORD," with the Hebrew word for "I will praise," odeh (אודה) sharing the same root as Yehudah. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judah_(son_of_Jacob)

See how much you could do to educate others if you could only let go of the knee-jerk animosity?

Did you wake up yet?

Your post simply reinforces mine.

The word “Jew” is centuries post-biblical, and grounded in ignorance.
