    I can't say I know many Jews who use the words, "Jewry", "Jewess", and throw the word "Zionist" around like they have OCD about it.

    Just doesn't make a whole lot of sense no matter what his background is.

    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/jewess

    I don't see the problem with these words.. Besides the author is Israeli his first language might not be English.

    Edit: Ok I just saw that it says "usually offensive" for Jewess.. usually.. but fair enough.. dont see whats wrong with Jewry though
