"Jew" is not a race. "Muslim" is also not a race. That is like saying "Christianity is a race" Jew is a religion. It is a product of geographics or what someone sells you as a kid or you buy.
Our outward traits as far as skin tone and eye color or shape and hair color, are a result of evolution. Trace humans back far enough and all of us are related to primates.
Just so you know, there were humans living in that area prior to the Hebrew religion being invented. So to make that argument you'd have to claim the polytheistic Canaanites were a race too.
And even after the establishment of the Hebrew religion, that entire time there was mixing cross tribes and boarders.
Not even Native Americans can claim stake to being unique to the Americas. The polar ice allowed humans to travel to the Americas long before Columbus.
You do know there are in America a very tiny minority cult that call themselves "Hoteps" who believe that blacks are the master race and blame all our current ills on white European colonialism.
"Race" is also an artificial construct. It is used not that you can avoid it in any case. But even that allows humans to divide themselves and create social pecking orders when the reality is there is only one species.
Both Jews and Muslims move the goal post when you point out the elephant in the room. It is religion and when those who don't want to face that, turn it into a race as if your skin tone makes you a special species by proxy of genes in any case.
