The Ethnic Israel has to do with lineage and their mothers, I believe. When Temple was destroyed, so were the records. But some Jews today can trace their lineage back along way. God knows who they are. It became a problem with the establishment of Israel. Before that, converts were not common ( to Judaism), who would want to be persecuted the way they were? So todays definition has changed a little. The Mother thingy.
