Okay, now I *do* have a Jewish-related question.

I vaguely know who the Jews for Jesus and Messianic Jews are. I'm curious, though - the few times I've heard them mentioned, it's been with some hostility. Why?

In the early days of Xtianity, it was a minor offshoot of a religion that had had many minor offshoots already. There also hadn't been two millennia of terms such as "Christ killer" thrown about. I'd think that such history would have to influence many people's attitudes, and that's not even counting in the strong evangelical nature of the Jews for Jesus group, which is reportedly quite unpleasant.
