Hadrian drove the Judians to extinction by killing over 800,000 of them around 135 AD. The kingdom of Judah is dead. The were the only remaining members of the Israeli tribes (and it's highly debatable if they were ever a united kingdom. There are very few accounts of Saul, David or Solomon outside of religious texts).
The other Israeli assimilated and dissipated into the many empires (Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian). Only the Judah descendants stayed together and got their land back from the Persian Empire after serving in their garrisons.
The survivors of Hadrian's war fled and converted others with Abrahamic faiths in the Khazarian Empire in what's now the crossing of modern day Iraq, Iran and Turkey. This likely is the foundation of the Ashkenazi Jews, and they barely have any ethnic/blood connection to the Biblical Judians.
Even if you try to wipe them out, some group will try to claim that title and use it for their edification. The Jews aren't a people, its a mythos that certain people have claimed every few centuries for the purposes of expanding an empire of what should be a dead failed kingdom.
