The article could do a better job making clear that “Messianic Jews” are not Jews. They are not a sect of Judaism that follow Jesus. They are a sect of Christians who consider Jesus’s teachings to be Jewish.

They are not recognized by any Jews anywhere.

“Messianic Jews” are Christians who like to cosplay at appropriating some parts of Jewish tradition.

It shouldn’t continue to be surprising that some people so creepy, disgusting, and bigoted, but holy fuck.

It is low-key hilarious that this guy obviously invested a lot of time and effort into his scam, and both of the professors quoted in the article *still* clocked him as a bullshit artist almost immediately

"Bias against conservatives" is such repugnant framing, and yet we accept it because it sounds like a thing we should. Why shouldn't we be biased against "conservatives?" Their ideology is based on bigotry, and the "evidence" they give to support it is almost exclusively lies.
