Why is it that Messianic Jews are uniquely singled out, and denied the right by some Jewish groups, to call themselves Jews?

Funny you should ask that. I guess it's the same way that some blacks (such as myself) are denied the right by other blacks to call ourselves true blacks.

See what I mean?

Whatever the reasoning, it's nefarious, to say the very least.

It is weak reasoning to make a comparison between an ideological stance (Jews for or against Jesus) which can be altered at will and genetic traits (skin color, etc...) which cannot (except by the idiotic Michael Jackson method) be altered given current medical techonology.
