I think if a person responded with 'I'm Hebrew', I would register that as a Location rather than a Religion.
Like, if a person said "I'm Catholic", wouldn't tell me much. Saying "I'm Italian" would.
Are Jews Arab?

A 'Tribe' with a location.
OK. I like this. Thanks.
You are highly confused and making a mountain out of a molehill.
Jew refers to a religion, an ethnicity, and a location.
The ancient kingdom of Judah is precisely where we get the name Jew. Judah was located where modern Israel is today, and is the traditional home of people who spoke Hebrew and Aramaic, practiced the Jewish religion, and kept the Jewish law.
Well, to me 'race' is 'Caucasion', 'Negroid', and 'Mongoloid'. You know, White, Black, and Asian, and is pretty easy to distinguish. If people ask: "Where are you from?" It usually means 'nationality'. Some location.
This is interesting:
"Arabic Quick Look
Arabic is a Central Semitic language, closely related to Aramaic, Hebrew, Ugaritic and Phoenician. Modern Standard Arabic is a distinct form and more conservative than all of its current spoken varieties and is the only official Arabic language. It’s the language of the Quran and the native language for more than 290 million people."
"Hebrew Quick Look
Hebrew is a West Semitic language of the Afro-asiatic language family. Historically, it is regarded as the language of the Israelites and their ancestors, although the language was not referred to by the name Hebrew in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible.) The earliest examples of written Paleo-Hebrew date from the 10th century BCE. Today, Hebrew is spoken by nine million people worldwide."

Arab = Central Semite.
Hebrew = Western Semite.
So Hebrews (Jews) and Arabs are both 'Semites' but from different parts of the same Region.
And, 'Jews' may refer to themselves as such to distinguish themselves from other Western Semites like Palestinians, Lebanese, and Syrians.
I'm actually glad I asked this question.

Yes,different mothers!
Hey dummy, you have been told the correct answer numerous times.
This isn't difficult, if you genuinely wanted to understand the answer.
Semites are a language family, nothing more, like Indo-European, Bantu, or Austro-Asiatic. It doesn't imply anything more than linguistic heritage. Russians and Portuguese share the same linguistic heritage, but nobody claims they share the same nationality or cultural heritage
Jew collectively refers to a religion an ethnicity and a specific homeland location in the eastern Mediterranean Levant.
It seems like you are just bugged that some people identity as ethnically Jewish.
