Jesus is not a jew as we understand that word today. It is a slang word contrived in the 1750's by Eastern European Khazars who have no genetic ancestry with ancient Israel.
When the word is used in the Bible, it is referring to either a Judahite (a member of the tribe of Judah ... which Christ was), a resident of Judea, or a practitioner of judaism. Judaism came out of Babylon and those who returned to Jerusalem were Judahites and what was called in the Bible, 'a mixed multitude' (racial mongrels or half-breeds). These mongrels became the Pharisees, and Pharisaism became judaism. The Khazars adopted the religion of Judaism in 900 AD and have evolved as a racially mixed people who are the antithesis of White Christians. They have stolen the name of Israel and confused the identification of Jesus Christ. There is ample proof that Jesus was White upon further study. See http://www.churchoftrueisrael.com/swift/swift1.html for one example of many articles on this subject.
In her book, The Plot Against Christianity, Elizabeth Dilling reprints the following quote from the forward of The Pharisees, a book written by the 'famous jewish rabbi, Louis Finklestein': " ... Judaism ... Pharisaism became Talmudism, Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism, and Medieval Rabbinism became Modern Rabbinism. But throughout these changes of name, inevitable adaptation of custom, and adjustment of the Law, the spirit of the ancient Pharisee survives unaltered." The book of Judaism is the Talmud.
