because simply the term jewish refers to an identity which has been perscuted for 2 millenia for one reason only ...for being jewish.
when the people of the earth will stop identifying themselves with other religions , or other national identifications , we could start to be called simply Israel.
i can even go futher and ask why do poeple insist on identifying themselves with nations names.
A hinduist practitioner from India who now is american and lives in Queens, doesnt have much in common with a 4th generation Mormon who lives in Utah, but they are both americans...
identification is mostly fictitious practise of the mind , in this case however a Jewish state is mostly a jewish statement as a response to history.
