"Jew and Hebrew are not the same."
True. "Jew" is the adherant of a religion. "Hebrew" is the name of an ethnic group and language. However, some European Jews probably are PARTLY descended from the ancient Hebrews, as some of them have DNA identical to that of Palestinians. I've often thought that today's Palestinians are more likely to be descended from the ancient Hebrews than most European Jews are. It should also be remembered that the Hebrews came originally from Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq). Or at least Abraham (father of both Hebrews and Arabs) did.
