Jesus was called "Rabbi" and venerated as a sage by (some) Jews of his time. As a Jew I have no problem with the benediction.
Heck, I view all Christians as schizmatic sects of Judiasm anyway!
Pre-Passover/Easter Shalom to all Freepers.

It is important here to mention that "Rabbi" did not have the same meaning then as now. Rabbinic Judaism did not come about until after the Diaspora.
