Biblically, Yahweh never used the term "Jew." The term was actually coined from the nation of Judaea. In Hebrew the term was יְהוּדִי, (trans. Yehudi). This word was used to describe the Judaean Peoples or יְהוּדִים (trans. Yehudim). In regards to the "chosen people" they were called many things. They were referred to as the "Sons of Abraham," the "Sons of Israel (Jacob)," or the "Nation of Israel (Jacob)."
The focus has switched in recent times. The Jewish people are regarded as followers of Judaism and Israelis are those who are regionally related to Israel the current country.

No. The penalties were very severe, and not that many people cared enough to take the risks.AnswerI believe many people did hide Jews, but they successfully did so, therefore it was not ever common knowledge.

Why are the Hebrews not the chosen people?
Answer 11) Since the early Israelites were called Hebrews (Genesis ch.14), they are the chosen people, as God said in Exodus ch.19 and elsewhere.2) Actually, you may (at the same time) say that not all of the Hebrews were chosen by God. This is because "Hebrews" actually can refer, along with the Israelites, also to certain non-Israelites, with whom God made no covenant. "Hebrews" in the wider sense includes all the descendants of Eber (Ever), who is the source of the word Hebrew. He was an ancestor of Abraham (Genesis ch.10-11), so that Abraham's Aramean cousins (Gen. ch.22), and also peoples such as Moab, Ammon (Gen. ch.19), Edom (ch.36), Ishmael/the Arabs (Gen. ch.16) and many others (Gen. ch.25) are of Hebrew descent. However, the term "Hebrews" is not now used for those other than the Israelites.See also the attached Related Link.Answer 2In addition to Answer 1 as a refutation of the question's premise, holding that the Jews are the Chosen people, there are some arguments proferred by those who disbelieve that claim for various reasons.1) Atheism: If there is no God, then the claim to be chosen by Him goes out the window.2) Black Israelite Churches: These groups teach that the true Israelites are the Black Africans who were brought to the Americas as slaves. Regardless that this flies in the face of all scholarly evidence, they persist in this view. In order to justify this claim, they must say that they are the real Chosen people and therefore that the Jews are not the Chosen People.3) Monotheist Transference: A number of Christian and Muslim groups hold that Jews surrendered their claim to be the Chosen people due to their stubbornness and failure to follow the Divine Mandates. As a result, God shifted his "chosenness" to their religious community (Christianity for Christians or Islam for Muslims).
