I se wher you are coming from but see where I am coming from. Before '48 there was no Israel, at least not for my great grandparents. So any offspring from people that were jewish were jewish. Being a jew is not only a matter of religion but a nationaltity as well at least when my great grand parents were around, I cannot call myself part Israeli because I forefathers never saw Israel. Now though after all these years we do not call the nationality of Israel, Israelis unless we ar etalking about thier army or the supposed terrorists that they supposedly have, instead we say jewish.

Alpha its not the same thing with the nazis because nazism is a particular party and judaism is a religion. I was merely making the association that Jews did not have a definite homeland as the british, french ect. Therefore back when my grandparents were born people called them jews even though they werent from Israel or jewish in the sense of religion.
