∙ 12y agoSimply put, YES, Jesus is an Israelite.
Note that the term Israelite refers to anyone of the Hebrew nation (and anyone who was a native of the ancient kingdom of Israel). This is often confused with the term "Jew," which is blatantly distorted in modern times for various reasons - not least among them political/economic - but which is actually reserved only for those descending from the tribe of Judah, one of the 12 sons of Jacob, including the house of David the Prophet & King (and yes, Jesus is also a descendant of the tribe of Judah - and therefore not only an Israelite, but also a Jew).
Bottom line: all Jews are Israelites (Hebrews) but not all Israelites/Hebrews are Jews - Jesus is both.
