I think of "Jewish" as mostly ethnicity (if you prefer, a particular gene pool) and somewhat culture.

That also applies to some extent to most European nationalities.

Yes, but "Jewish" is part of two different sets: one is "French, German, Italian, Jewish, ..." and the other one is "Christian, Moslem, Jewish, ..." and that gives rise to a lot of confusion.
