Yes, "Yeshu" was a name first and a backronym was applied to it, as it related to three or more Jews of different eras each rejected by the Jews of their day. This has not been seriously applied by any Jewish movement as if someone had openly said the name of the Nazarene should literally be removed from history. Rather, rabbis are more disposed to say (as Netanyahu recently said) Jesus was Jewish and can be reclaimed as a Jewish visionary who did much good for many generations and races of people.
Yes, rabbis regard "Messianic Jews" as not Jews but Christians, contrary to the Messianics' own testimony and heritage.
Yes, Jesus is seen as a forbidden personality among Jews (Yair Zakovitz).
Yes, those who speak in favor of Jesus often come under attack in Jewish society as assimilationists (Tzvi Sadan).
FUNNY! None of this has anything to do with "Israeli rabbis caught red-handed on tape, openly declaring Jesus’s name must be wiped from history, erased like it never existed." It only relates to the fact that honest Jews openly admit that Jews would rather ignore Jesus if possible. This is why Jews For Jesus makes its mission out to be making the messiahship of Jesus an unavoidable issue for Jews everywhere.
