The Jews) is an Israeli hard rock band, formed in 1992 by (now married) couple Tom Petrover and Orit Shahaf, who share guitar playing and vocal duties.

The band's first album, Metziut Nifredet (Hebrew: מציאות נפרדת, Separate Reality), was released in 1995 through Hed Arzi Music.

The band received its first major national exposure when Michael Behagen decided to incorporate seven of their songs into his film Forever Young.

Their debut album, Metziut Nifredet, came out just a few months before Yitzhak Rabin's assassination in August 1995, while the political discourse in Israel was heavily polarized regarding The Oslo Accords.

Their third albun, Pahad Mavet, released in 2002, during the second Intifada (just after Operation Defensive Shield) when the Israeli Defence Forces faced many casualties in attempt to quell uprisings in the West Bank.

Both of which had the army entering southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip respectively in response to attacks and terror activities carried out from these regions.
