@oiulti6900 : "A Jew is any person belonging to the worldwide group that constitutes, through descent or conversion, a continuation of the ancient Jewish people, who were themselves descendants of the Hebrews of the Bible" [from Britannica]. The Jews were exiled from their ancestral homeland for two thousand years, so they come from a wide variety of places, eg. Russia, Ethiopia, Morocco, India, Europe. It's up to Israel's Jewish leaders to define who is a Jew in terms of returning to Israel.
That's pure nonsense to say that Christians are never at risk in Muslim countries. I'm currently in Egypt where Christians are being persecuted, where their churches need heavy security, and where no person born into a Muslim family can convert to Christianity in a legal sense. Christians and Jews are always second-class 'dhimmis' in a Muslim-majority country. They can NEVER be certain of their security, and they can't hold positions of power. That was also the situation when the Ottoman Empire occupied Palestine.
It's only now that the Holy Land is once again under the leadership of the indigenous Jewish people that there is equality under the law for all citizens, and freedom of worship. When the Jordanian Muslims invaded and conquered Jerusalem in 1948, they destroyed synagogues and exiled Jews from that most Holy Jewish city.
