Yeah, so how many times do people say “The Protestants” like ie “Why is this happening to the protestants or what have the protestants done to deserve this or that”
Not much if at all …
But “The Jews” is used and it’s often used by Zionists. It is used in various capacities. But it doesn’t make any sense because for example when Zionism started gaining any sort of ground it wasn’t popular among Jewish people. Something like 1% of British Jews migrated to Palestine in the early 20th century, and the numbers were very very low even after World War II. The majority of Jewish people today live outside of Israel.
This is because Jews Are a massive integral part of many countries of the world and have been for many generations. Like in America Jews are 100% a part of the American fabric. They are great people they contribute to the country. They have the same struggles and achievements as American Christians or Muslims you name it.
Zionism was something that sought to literally bring every Jew to Israel. That is a movement that has been in a large part responsible for using terms like “the Jews” in various capacities, often for political gains.
Ok sure saying something like the Jews makes sense sometimes but they are not one body. Like for example, sure there are some similarities between Catholics all around the world, but obviously you have your Irish Catholics you have your Spanish Catholics you have your American Catholics all with their own unique identities within their own country.
