Jesus was not a "jew" ... even the word jew never appeared anywhere until 1775, https://files.catbox.moe/iy19np.png https://files.catbox.moe/fd5dx9.png

Jesus was indeed a Jew. The spelling doesn't matter, it refers to the same people.

Mary, the mother of Jesus was not a jew, nor even a child of the tribe of Judah only, but instead was from the tribe of Levi, as Mary's cousin was a Levite, which would sure make Mary one herself too. And of course since Jesus was born of a virgin birth, that leaves Mary's tribe as being the determiner of which tribe Jesus came from if one wants go by genealogies.

When they split into two nations, the House (nation) of Judah consisted of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. The House of Israel was the other 10 tribes.

From Origin of the Word Jew

If the generally accepted understanding today of the English "Jew" and "Judean" conveyed the identical implications, inferences and innuendoes as both rightly should, it would make no difference which of these two words was used when referring to Jesus in the New Testament or elsewhere. But the implications, inferences, and innuendoes today conveyed by these two words are as different as black is from white. The word "Jew" today is never regarded as a synonym for "Judean" nor is "Judean" regarded as a synonym for "Jew."
