Re: Is the term \"Jew\" offensive to Jewish people?
Depends on context.
It's generally more appropriate to use Jewish when you want an adjective, ie I'm going to a Jewish service. Not a "Jew service". Jewish is the adjective, Jew is the noun. And saying things like Jew stack and Jewing him down are anti-semitic imo. This sentence is appropriate: He is a Jew. This is not an appropriate use: I have to go to this Jew thing tomorrow. It just sounds derogatory... using this noun as an adjective. -- Note: I'm not Jewish, but my wife is. She taught me Hebrew, and I'm fluent in it. She also taught me some Torah- so I consider myself more knowledgeable about Judaism than most Jews are.
