The tribe of Judah essentially stole the name of Israel, there was originally a United Israel, but Judah split as a separate kingdom, Israel was conquered by the Neo-Babylonians and expelled the other tribes. Judah remained a puppet/client state of the Neo-Babylonian Empire but eventually the the of tribe of Judah became the only remaining tribe as all the others mixed with the rest of Europe and the Middle East or wherever. Then in the modern era they claim the name Israel. Whether you consider that them stealing the name or them having a right to it as the last remaining tribe is up to opinion.

The “Jewish homeland” really should be territory south of Jerusalem into the Negev desert, as that’s where the Kingdom of Judah was located. Not even Jerusalem should be in their homeland because it was under the tribe of Benjamin iirc.

And the Jews are not “God’s chosen people”. Jacob passed the Abraham’s blessing to Ephraim and Manasseh, not Judah. So I would think this means their descendants are the chosen people, but since the other tribes assimilated into other population groups, it’s not possible to tell them apart.
