Good point. It has become mainstream to classify Jews as an ethnicity when it is simply a religion. The interesting part about the Hebrews is their descendency from Abraham of Sumer. The entire tribe derived from their connection to one man of the city of Ur. They would actually be a family lineage and not really an ethnicity any different than the rest of the people that descended from the same region of people. Considering the intermarriage of outside peoples throughout history, they are as mixed as any of the other groups of people in the same general region of the middle east.
