    People absolutely use the term Jews, it’s even in regular ass news headlines. I’m not sure if you’re kidding or if you think people aren’t saying “the Jews in Israel” but “people who are Jewish in Israel”.

    Are you legitimately having trouble understanding?

    I am, illegal immigrant is a normal and widely used term…?

      Show me one headline with “the Jews” that isn’t extremely far right or full on nazis

      It was. But lots of things people used to say is not acceptable today. That’s literally the definition of progress: shit gets better…

        It still very much seems to be. The word is all over the place. Some seem to have started calling them “undocumented migrants” and other terms, but it’s still a commonly used term. If you want a short term that’s more “pc”, that seems like a good one in that case, because “people who immigrated illegally” is fucking mouthful for a headline.
