I was not disputing your entire argument, 282RA, I was only disputing your specific assertion that "Jew is a follower of a certain religion". Not so. Many Jews are not religious at all. What a Jew is, is he or she is the follower of a certain cutural identity and tradition (which are mental concepts), but not necessarily of a certain religion. The people who hate him may assume he follows a certain religion, but they may be mistaken in that assumption.
