God makes no distinction between Jew and greek, why do so many scholars like to ?

Being exiled from the community has to do with association. The exiled person may still be in the same geographic area, but he is forbidden from association with the community.

So at the end of the day, you do agree that being a member of the nation of Israel has nothing to do with geography.

Alright, let's leave it as that

Being a member of the nation of Israel had everything to do with being in the nation, where the nation was, and participating in the national activities. If you were not where the nation was, you were not part of the nation, and even being where they were didn’t automatically make you part of the nation.

At the end of the day, Jethro was never part of the nation of Israel.

There is nothing circular about that. But if you don’t want to accept it. So be it. You don’t have to believe what God says, but it helps.
