All in a name

THE JEWS, once known as the Israelites, were driven out of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD70.

They then spread around the world, hoping one day to return to Israel. Two thousand years later, after the Holocaust, some Jews did return and founded the state of Israel. These Jews called themselves Israelis.

But surely, all Jews, as God's chosen people, should now be called Israelis? That is, citizens of God's Promised Land, whether living there or not. God would like that.
