Of course, because the Children of Israel are the Jewish people, so they are Israeli by their roots but Jews are spread across the world and have other identities by their place of birth, tradition and nationality etc

"European" isn't a nationality.. it's more of a generalized ethnic term.
As far as Czechs, hard to say.. they are associated with the Slavs because of the language and history, but they tend to look more Germanic than say the Slovaks. My mother's family doesn't look Slavic at all. They look German/Irish..

Does this mean we can call ourselves Israeli-Americans even though I was born in America? The shvugs call themselves "African-Americans"? It makes sense.

Well, Salomon's and David's kingdom called Israel .

And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken perversion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, to draw thee aside out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.Deuteronomy 13:5.

To make this accurate, it should be asking what are you yourself, not nationality of where you live. And Jewish should have been included because Jewish is our nationality. You should also be able to choose any of them because people could have family from all over The World. My grandfather was born in Canada, my grandmother and mother were born in The United States, my other grandparents were born in Iraq, my dad was born in Israel, my great grandparents were born in Iraq, Russia, Ukraine, and Galicia, and I was born in The United States.



woow.

I'm American, but he asked nationality... usually that means background.. so that's how I answer. But yes, I'm an American citizen through and through   ;)

There are some people who don't believe the US should be a sovereign nation and that citizenship and laws should mean nothing.  They claim that there's no such thing as an American.  Don't let them trick you.  So you have to be careful.

I understand what you're saying, but I simply answered the question in the way that I thought he asked it.

I'm an Eskimo.

You're not an Eskimo... the Inuit find that term very offensive being that it means "meat eater" by one of their rival tribes in Canada  :P
So what's your REAL background?

Its like when blacks call themselves n-gger.  I can say Eskimo beause I am an Eskimo.  You cannot because you're not.
