that depends on how you look at it. A lot of jews are not religious and always viewed themselves as nationality rather than religion. I do not understand your objections. "a person born to a Jewish mother who is an atheist and never practices the Jewish religion is still a Jew, even in the eyes of the ultra-Orthodox. In this sense, Judaism is more like a nationality than like other religions, and being Jewish is like a citizenship" jewfaq.org; Those are characteristics of an ethnic or racial group, not a nation. Without a nation you can't have citizenship. Kurds are an example of an ethnic group, but not a nation in our current world governance system. Nations are recognized as such by the UN. Except of course Taiwan.... There is no Jewish nation which includes all the Jews on the planet, just as there is no Arab nation or Kurdish nation, or nation of men under 5 feet tall. Describing religious and ethnic groups as nations is misleading rhetoric.
