There should be no issue with them telling their own story.
The issue here isn't Jews telling their own story. The issue here is non-Jews telling Jews their own story.
It's like a Black History Month Essay Contest where all the contestants are white.
Has someone ever held a gun to your head to force you to listen to the Christian message? Take the religion section, for example. No one is forcing you to read any thread here. You choose to click on and read threads. Are you saying that Christians should not be allowed to speak at all, just on the chance that you might happen to come across their post which you do not want to see?
If you want to shelter yourself from any viewpoint other than the one you grew up with, then you might want to avoid the religion section altogether.
Or are you saying that Christians should not talk about who the Messiah is? The Messiah came through Israel, but He is the Savior of the whole world, not only the Jewish people. And just in case this needs to be stated, physical lineage has absolutely nothing to do with salvation or understanding truth. So one doesn't need to be Jewish to find God.
In fact, the Bible is very clear in both the Old and New Testaments that we are not justified by our physical lineage or works, we are justified by faith. In Genesis it says Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
If one believes that their bloodline or works will gain them salvation, then they are gravely mistaken. But that's a topic for its own thread too.
