If you ask people here, they'll say that Jew is opposed to white... so a race.
It can also be used to refer to a religion. I assume, but take no liability if the contrary is proven, that if you make it clear that you are talking about the religion of the Jews, it will be treated the same as if you said it about Muslims, if with less justification.
FYI: on Reddit, people called me anti-Semitic, because I named myself after a guy who was not fond of the Jewish religion.
Jew has always been a complicated term. I mean it is for them, so I don't see why it would be easier for anyone else.
Frankly, historically, not many people were fans of the Jewish religion. Least of all Xians who supposedly stole their religion. I'm not sure they are now. But fewer people will admit to disliking it.
Christianity superseded Judaism. Some pro-Jewish evangelicals try to argue that Judaism is perfectly valid, but there would be no need for a Christ if Judaism was perfectly fine as it was. Maybe the apostles should have told Jesus "nah bruh, we're already Jews, and that's good enough - member?" instead of getting themselves skinned, beheaded and crucified.
Talmudic Judaism isn't exactly the religion of Jesus, since it wasn't invented yet. I'm in line with the people who say that Jesus preached against exactly the kind of people who run Judaism now. So they went that way, and Christians went this way.
I don't think that today's Jews get to wear Christianity's origin like armor. After schisms, people tend not to like each other very much. That's how it is.
So, about those jews then...
