"The true jewish messiahs many of whom were in fact named jesus which means messiah were deeply violently hostile to the cruel mistreatment of their colo9nisers and were definately NOT meek or turn the other cheek in philosophy. "
None of the Christians on HC will bother, so just for the record I think you will find that it is "Christ" that means Messiah not Jesus.
Jesus seems to mean something like "saves" or "Jehovah saves" or "saviour" etc and may well have been used to describe various Jewish dissidents or rebel leaders.
However, none of these would have been considered candidates for Messiah unless they passed all the other strict requirements.
