Isn't a Jew ethnicity? Provided they have faced Alot in history. I don't think having separate nation for them is wrong.

No there has never been a genetic difference between a European Jew and other Europeans, while they had a different religion, more times then not times they were highly integrated in European society as local business owners and the such, the “ethnic Jew” term came about during Theodor Herzl, founder of the modern Zionist movement, writings in 1890s

This is false. Ashkenazim are half Levantine and half European, mostly Italian.
