All your other comments aside, Jews are not a religion. Judaism is a religion practice by many Jews.
Jews are not a race, because races as people perceive them don't exist, and were created in the 1800s around the time antisemitism was coined. Aryan race, Semite, Slav etc.
Antisemitism is only about Jews. Jews are not Semites, as Semites don't exist. The people who coined the term thought there was such a race.
English is an imprecise language- even the term racism is dated and not really correct.
There are 5-6 races in anthropology but the classification is so broad it is meaningless- which puts Iranians, Jews, Arabs in with Russians, French and the English. It should not be used outside of ivory tower academia.
In biology, there is one race, the human race or Homo Sapiens Sapiens.
In linguistics there are Semitic languages, which includes Hebrew, Arabic and various north African languages. It does not make the speaker a Semite, that is intellectually lazy.
Modern anthropology does not describe people in terms of races, but rather ethnic and ethnoreligious groups. A racist is someone opposed to, or prejudiced against, one of those groups. Again, English is imperfect and uses archaic terminology. Just like the term gay means something different than 100 years ago or that awful and awesome, or terrific and terrible- once meant the same thing. Words change meaning and old words are retained that probably don't fit best with modern understanding.
Jews are an ethnoreligious group. There are many ethnoreligious groups. Druze, Copts, Ahmadis, Yezidi are just some examples of ethnoreligious groups.
A Jew can be a Buddhist or a Muslim or an Atheist. You don't actually convert to Judaism, a Western concept, you join the tribe/nation/people- you are adopted into it under strict rules that can takes years or even a decade. Many other tribes have such rules. My cousins are Torres Strait Islanders, a Melanesian people. I am related to them through marriage, I am not Melanesian. But all members of that community consider me one of them. When I say I am not, they can't understand, I am family and kin to them. I don't fight it anymore but appreciate their openness.
