Original Note:
In Hebrew, the word for Jews is "Yehudi" (יהודי), from the word for Judah, "Yehuda". In Arabic, the word is "al-yahūd" (اليهود). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jew_%28word%29?wprov=sfla1 Jihad does have many meanings, but in this context (the war in Gaza) it is clearly used to refer to war -- see Palestinian Islamic Jihad below. https://www.dni.gov/nctc/ftos/pij_fto.html
