I read Henry Makow's article Jesus was NOT a Jew --Benjamin Freedman which is a snippet from a letter in the 50's.
http://www.henrymakow.com/jesus_was_not_a_jew_--benjamin.html
They go into a bit of detail on why he isn't. For example,
<blockquote>
Jesus Christ was not a so-called or self-styled "Jew". During His lifetime Jesus was known as a "Judean" by His contemporaries and not as a "Jew", and Jesus referred to Himself as a "Judean" and not as a "Jew".
</blockquote>
Then I look at the opening verse of the KJV of the NT and see;
<blockquote>
Matt. 1:1 - The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
</blockquote>
What gives?
