It can indeed. Let's examine jewish question in view of the Bible. Of course theology isn't the only science useful in study of jewish question, yet let's concentrate on it for a second.
Now I don't believe the fact that Jesus as well as his Apostles were jews is relevant. History knows examples of jews who repented. Thomás de Torquemada, Spanish Grand Inquisitor or Benjamin Freedman come to mind. Let's not forget about Apostle Paul himself.
Acts 23:12 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
This is in exact accordance with judaic law.
"It is permitted to kill a Jewish denunciator everywhere. It is permitted to kill him even before he denounces." -Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hajpiszpat jog
Bible has in fact the exact term for jews - anti christs.
1 Jn 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antiChrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
Of course every atheist comes under this definition as well, however it's judaic talmudism which explicitly denies that Jesus is the Christ.
Should we ignore the fact that jews accepted the guilt for Jesus's execution?
Mt 27:24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
This words conviniently disappered from Mel Gibson's " Passions of the Christ" by the way. Have jews ( apart from few examples ) repented? Not to my knowledge.
Therefore without going much further we could see a jew in Biblical sense. Bloodthirsty anti christ who in vain accepted the greatest guilt for execution of the Christ. Ethernal enemy of Christianity.
