If my dad is a Jew and my mom is normal, but they separated when I was young and I therefore was never raised Jewish, would I be considered a Jew or normal?

there is an ethnical, cultural and religious aspect to judaism. But at the end of the day all of these things are social constructs so you can be whatever you want to be. If you move here you would be a german for example

You'll be one of those russian "jews" in israel that celebrate novy god, aren't cut and the rabbinate don't consider you a jew so you can't marry a jew (unless you marry in crypus)

Can I also be a German without moving to Germany?

>so you can't marry a jew
Then what's the point of moving to Israel

I think if Jews wanted to live in Germany, a two-state solution would be best

Orthodox and conservative Jews do not consider you a Jew since you don't have a Jewish mother and you didn't convert
Reform Jews don't consider you to be a Jew because even though they accept those with Jewish fathers, you need to be raised Jewish in order to be consider Jewish

You get a nice immigration package
Like I said, you can still marry by marrying overseas, it's not that much of trouble these days
