When you start an argument, you should at least endeavor to make sure your given is true.
Do Jews like to be called “Jewish”, not “Jews?”

I don't know, but that's the wrong end of the stick. What I'm taking issue with is his "given", that Jews don't like being called Jews. It's stupid on the face of it.

Is this an identity group thing ? Like people who want to be addressed as ‘them’ instead of ‘he’ or ‘she’.

You're asking me his justification. I can't justify racism or sexism, either. So I just don't know what drives him/them.

Maybe some should ask some Jews/Jewish people.

Scotch is an alcoholic drink, often on the rocks. If a Scot is on the rocks, it means he ran his ship aground.

Eye of horus has asked some (an undefined quantity) Jewish people from his “old country” (wherever that is) and apparently they have confirmed his hypothesis.
