"Problem is that they dont keep it to themselves. They use that misleading title as a way to lure Jews to abandon their own faith without understanding that this is what they are doing."
I don't think they use a "misleading title." They are openly followers of Jesus, which you would find out in the first ten minutes of speaking with them. It's not as if they are putting up a false front in order to trick Jews into embracing Christianity. Some Jews object to the "messianic Jews" appellation, but that is THEIR problem.

It is disingenuous for you to say that some Jews object to the appellation “messianic Jews” but this is the Jews’ problem. The whole reason they took on that name is as part of a marketing strategy to convince Jews that they could continue to Jews while becoming Christians. For Jews this is not true, and therefore this is not the Jews’ problem.
Look at the history of so-called Messianic Jews. They did not exist until the 1960s under a former Jew called Moishe Rosen who evangelized among Jews. To this day they set up centers in Jewish neighborhoods and try to convince Jews that it is okay to be Christian and Jewish at the same time under the name “Messianic Jew.”
This is duplicitous fraud.
