More importantly, it's used inappropriately when talking about violence towards/hatred of the vaaaaaaaast majority of Israelis because they're Europeans...

By that standard, it's innapropriate to call Black people "African American" because they're from North America.

Are you alright? You can definitely say they're African (or anything more precise like "West African" or "from the Horn of Africa") by ethnicity, they're just American by nationality. What else would you say? The white folks in America are European by ethnicity (mostly Germanic) and American by nationality, and their nationality didn't just randomly turn them Native American, lol. Hopefully you were just being silly and not willfully spreading confusion...

You asserted that, because Jews lived in Europe, they ceased to be real Jews.

No, friend. I meant: these European folks may or may not be "real Jews", but they were never Semitic.

Unless you are denying that the Jews started out in what is now called Israel, you are, in fact, stating that people lose their ethnicity by living somewhere else.

Er go, Jews are not real Jews.

The people that should be hearing this won't accept it as truth. They actively deny the Eastern European heritage of ashkenazi Jews.
