Religion has a lot to do with the issue. Religion and ethnicity are often strongly related especially for Jews. Judaism is the main element that identifies Jews together and the vast majority of Arabs living in Israel/Palestine are Muslims.

Yes but race is an innate quality, whereas religion is a chosen belief. One cannot compare a race with a religion.

More Jews (eg, non religious Jews) are ethnically Jewish than spiritually Jewish (eg converts, which are generally quite rare).
