Definitely not, but I am now thoroughly confused. The folks in Israel are Jews, so what's wrong with referring to them as such? Is it because folks like the KKK use that word to slander these folks?

I have always used that term like someone would use American or Canadian or Russian or French. And it's not like I've lived in some world where I've never been exposed to Jewish people, and not one of them has ever expressed any concern or anger when I refer to the people of Israel as Jews.

But if there's something I don't know, someone please enlighten me.
