A "Jew" is not a nationality but is the term given to a person who believes in Judaism. There cannot be a Christian Jew for Judaism is a different religion from Christianity although there are similarities between them.

Judaism is a religion
Israeli is a nationality, American is a nationality and etc. I am an American Jew. American by nationality and a Jew by faith.
People who say that they have friends who are Christian Jews are misinformed. If you believe in Christ then you are a Christian and not a Jew. The Christian Jews are just missionaries who are trying to convert the Jews.
I hope that answers your Question

Jew is NOT a nationality.....Jewish is the religion. They are also called Hebrews.
Israel is the Country.
An Israeli is the Citizen of Israel.
One can be a Christian Jew...or a Jewish Christian.

you can't be a christian jew because a person is not a jew until they convert to judaism in accordance with jewish law. one of the requirements of converting to judaism is that you pledge to G-d that you are leaving your past religions behind forever. therefore the moment you become a jew, you stop being a christian.

You can be a Christian Jew. They call themselves Messianic Jews. They still follow the rules of their heritage, but they also believe in Christ.

You can be a Christian Jew.
There are devout Jews who believe that Jesus was the Messiah,and there are Jews,who never practiced Judaism,who believe that Jesus was the Messiah.

Jews are not Christians. Jesus Christ does not fulfill the requirements under Jewish law to be the Messiah. Judaism 101. Let's move on.
