Jesus was a Jew by descent. Being in the lineage of Abraham and David (Matthew 1:1), He was born in Judah to Joseph and Mary, a Jewish father and mother (Matthew 1:6 and 2:1-2). He was raised in a Jewish home and was taught the scriptures and Jewish laws (Luke 2:40). Hebrews 7:14 also tells us that the Lord descended from Judah, meaning the son of Jacob, where the word Jew derived.
As Jesus grew, He often taught in the synagogues and the temple. His teachings abided by the Torah and the commandments and upheld all the Jewish customs. Jesus was considered a rabbi, even called the King of the Jews (John 19:21). As a Jew, He observed Passover and the Feast of the Tabernacles (Jon 2:12 and John 7:2), both Jewish traditions.
The Old Testament prophesied a Jewish Savior. One was chosen by God for a special purpose: to restore and redeem Israel (Isaiah 9:6 and 53). To claim Jesus isn't Jewish is to deny that he is the messiah and savior.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem to a Jewish mother and raised in a Jewish home by parents who followed Jewish law and respected Jewish festivals. Jesus honored his Jewish heritage in every religious sense. He was called Rabbi and identified Himself as a Jew.
God chose the Jews because they would protect God’s message at all costs. Through them would come all the prophecy, all of the foreshadowing.
That Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament was a Jewish savior, chosen by God for a special purpose from a special people. The Messiah was to serve God’s purpose by fulfilling all Jewish prophecy and reconciling the world to himself:
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God (Revelation 21:3).

Hatred of Jews is very un-Christian.

The eminent French researcher Salluste, in his book "The Secret Sources of Bolshevism" ("Les engines secretes du Bolchevisme"), provides many valuable facts about Jewish neo-Messianicism, including one remarkable document, which has caused such a stir in Europe, containing a complete exposition of this new Messianic tendency in World Israel. This is the famous letter of Rabbi Baruch Levi to his disciple Karl Marx, in which he explains to him the essence of neo-Messianicism. In this letter the rabbi in question writes to him:
"The Jewish people themselves will become their own Messiah. Their kingdom over the world will be realized through the unification of the other human races, the abolition of monarchies and frontiers as the basis of separateness (particularismo) and the proclamation of a world republic which will everywhere recognize the rights of citizenship of the Jews.
With this new organization of mankind, the children of Israel, now scattered over this surface of the earth, all of one race, of the same traditional education, will without much resistance become everywhere the leading element, especially if they can impose the leadership of the Jews on the working masses. Thus, the victory of the proletariat will transfer into Israeli hands the governments of all nations, together with the establishment of a world republic. Then the governments of the Jewish race will be able to abolish individual property (individual; cf. privada - private, personal - personal; note per.) and dispose of the wealth of the nations everywhere. Thus is realized the promise of the Talmud about the coming Messianic times, when the Jews will own the property of all the peoples of the earth."
In these few words, Rabbi Baruch Levi explained to his young disciple Marx both the essence of neo-Messiahship and the way to realize it through a worldwide communist revolution using the working class as a mere blind instrument. It was left to the genius of Karl Marx himself to further develop these basic principles

More than 100 years have passed, nothing has changed. Only the proletariat in this scheme has been replaced by sexual and racial minorities.
