Karaites aren't Jewish. Why? The split between Karaites and Talmudic Jews took place around 800AD. This when the Masoretic version of Old Testament took its final form (this version is also being used by Protestants)

Is the 'why' a rhetorical question?

re: Karaites not being "Jewish"
In the time of Jesus, there was a split between the Talmudic Israelites (whose religious leaders where the Pharisees) and Israelites who did not concede legitimacy to the Talmud. The latter included the Sadducees, the Zealots, and the Essenes
The Pharisees became dominant, and defined "Jewish" to mean Israelites who grant validity to the Talmud
