Some people I know classify them as part Christian.

Non-Christians, definitely. The only possible exception would be "Messianic Jews", such as the "Jews for Jesus" group, but on the whole, Jews are, by definition, not Christians.

Sorry to say, but some of the people you know are ignorant.
Judaism is fundamentally opposed to Christian fundamentals. Christianity is also fairly clear on who exactly is a Christian.
Taking that into mind, Jews are non-Christians just like Christians are non Jews.

There not Christians. They fail to recognize Christ as their Messiah and are still looking for Him to come. Christ is the center of Christianity so their not Christians. Christians can be called part Jew because that is half the belief system(Old Testament).

Jews are non-Christians, but we respect them because they are God's chosen people and they will play an important role during the Great Tribulation. Any Christian that speaks ill of the Jews is in danger of the judgment.

No matter how *I* would classify them, Jews are not Christians, since they do not believe Jesus was the son of God. That's a piece of objective information. This isn't a matter of opinions...

Jews are non Christians by virtue of the fact that they deny the validity of the Christ as the messiah. That is the premise behind Christianity. That is not to say they are bad people, simply non Christian.

Jews are not Christian. Jews after Christ have exactly the same beliefs as Jews before the time of Christ, and they obviously were not Christian.

Depends,
Are you referring to the folks belonging to the Jewish religion or to the folks born in Israel?
In other words "Jew" could refer to either the religious affiliation or to a national group.
Members of the Jewish faith are not Christians, if they become Christians, they are no longer part of the Jewish faith.
Members of th Jewish national group could be of the Jewish faith or Christian faith or any othe belief system.
Personally, I classify them as people God also loves.

Jews are Jews and Christians are Christians. The Messianic variety accept Y'shua [Jesus] as their Saviour as do (or should) Christians, though others who are Orthodox have scales over their eyes still and are deluded to who Y'shua is. (This will change after the antichrist makes an appearance.)
Shalom al Yisrael, shalom Yerushalaim, peace be to you.
