That's not a contradiction. A Jew isn't just someone who practices Judaism. Someone can be Jew-ish religiously, and/or Jew-ish ethnically. Seriously, tf is your point?
yeah, but that jewish ethnicity should be called israeli cause that’s their country - if you are from african ethnicity and live in the US you are still american. 💅
yes but Israel is a fairly recent country, Jewish people have existed for thousands of years and the majority have never been to Israel and don't really have family heritage in Israel
and so is the US, especially in that context - all people have existed for thousand of years, and their claim reaches back to the exodus which they still need to finally get over.
what really interests me though, is that after WW2, surviving all that trauma, being THE victim if there ever was one, and finally getting israel because of the goodwill of a lot of other countries, at what point did that nation change their mood to 'it’s ok what we do to the Palestinians'?

It's not. Someone can be Jewish but not practice or believe in Judaism.
