I am sorry to interject this and certainly won't reply to other than the 'children of Israel' that indeed being the 12 sons of Jacob, Jacob PBUH being 'Israel' bani meaning his progeny!

modern day Jews aren't the progeny of Jacob PBUH, they are not semitic save for a handful of them less than 5%..
modern day Jews from Russia, Poland and most parts of Eastern Europe have NO
genetic link to the ancient Hebrews - they for the most part are decendents
of Khazars, who converted to Judaism in the 7th century (this has been
documented by Jewish scholars, not Arabs). The modern day Palestinians can
claim a more direct link to the Hebrew tribes than the founders of modern day
"Israel."

from that I'll leave it to folks to draw their own conclusions

Allah knows best
