No, a Jew has a right to Aliyah to Israel and an Israeli has a right to be Jewish. I don't see any difference in whether you are a Jew or Israeli. Israel is still our homeland, whether you are religious or not.

A Jew is someone who is Jewish which is generally a religion. Although I do think the line is a bit blurred between religion and ethnicity.
An Israeli would be someone from Israel, regardless of religious affiliation. While they are probably a small minority, I'm sure there are some Christian or Muslim Israelis.

Some will say yes, some no.
The Israel in the Bible refers to all Jewish People as a people, not any place or country, so from that perspective there is no difference. However, Israeli is now a nationality, not all Israelis are Jewish, not all Jews are Israeli.

Not all Jews are Israelis, and not all Israelis are Jewish, so of course there is a difference!
A Jew is someone who was born to a Jewish mother or converted to Judaism. An Israeli is someone who lives in Israel, regardless of her/his religion, ethnicity, or race.

Yes, there is a difference, Israelis are those born and living in Israel and not all Israelis are Jews.

YES
Israeli means a nation.
Jew means a relgion follower.
Not all Jews are Israelis (example, those jews who are born in the west and lived their whole life in the west).
Not all Israelis are Jews (the atheists, muslims, and christians who live in Israel and have Israeli citizenships)
Peace

Israeli is a national/citizen of Israel.
A Jew is someone who follows the Jewish religion.
An Israeli can be Jewish (most are) but also Muslim and Christian.
A Jew can be 'white', 'black', 'asian' or any other race too.

A Jew is Jewish. Judaism is a religion, like Catholic, Protestant, Muslim.
An Israeli lives in Israel. Most Israelis are Jewish but there are Israeli arabs who are muslims.
so Jewish= religion and Israeli=country.
