Christ was most certainly a Jew. Not sure where you are going with this or why. Jews are a remarkable people, forged and tempered on the anvil of persecution and oppression. Rather than whine about it they learned how to thrive in spite of it. They insisted on maintaining their religion when it would have been far easier to submit - starting with the edicts of the pagan Roman emperors.
Today Jews are no monolithic ethnic/religious group, they are found on the left and the right and are often the most effective actors for either side.
I have been a conservative and libertarian political observer since 1970 or so and one of the most pernicious and destructive elements has been the whole “world Jewish conspiracy“ canard that appears on both sides of the political spectrum.
I am not a Jew, but I have respect for the Jewish people just as I do for most religious groups (guess which one is the exception). I would recommend Paul Johnson’s “A History of the Jews” to gain an understanding of their history and contributions to Western culture.
