Fair point in the English language there is no distinction for Jewish - probably because of the discrimination from the Middle Ages.

Just the middle ages? No clue what you’re talking about here. Jew happens to be both a religious descriptor and an ethnic descriptor. Someone can be not at all ethnically Jewish and be religiously Jewish, and someone can be completely ethnically Jewish and not at all religiously Jewish.

Since I don’t accept religious explanations for humanities existence/origins I don’t think or try not to think in religous terms for describing ethnicity.

Complete non-sequitur. It’s not a religious term for describing ethnicity, it’s just a word that has multiple meanings. It always has. Back when Jew was a latin word, it meant someone from Judea literally, and conversationally someone from the ethnic group in Judea. It just happens at the time that ethnic and religious groups were almost entirely overlapping. This carried over to English and other usages; Jews who converted were still called Jews. Special names even were invented to call Jews who’d converted, to indicate Jewish ethnicity but Catholic religion.

You have still failed to show SFZ hating Palestinians. Making accusations of bigotry and failing to back them up is contemptible in the extreme and it weakens valid accusations of bigotry. Every time you do something stupidly hyperbolic like this you sink your credibilty a little bit more and make yourself all the easier to dismiss.
