The Israelites were a separate ethnic group, and after the second destruction of the temple, this ethnic group stopped existing as a separate ethnic group.

Judaism is a religion, like Christianity, had its origin, during the time of the Israelites.

Moses, David,Solomon and Jesus came from and to the Children of Israel.

All of the above don't exist anymore, except for Jesus, who is alive, although not on the earthly plane.

Judaism,Christianity,Islam,Hinduism,Buddism,Scientology etc are religions/ideologies..

They are not physical/racial/ethnic groupings.i.e. you can change from one to the other.
