The first folks that the early Christians prosletyzed were fellow Jews, so I don't see why we shouldn't continue this practice today. The Gospel applies to the whole world.
Are you really going on with this, dude? Question: do you simply lack any knowledge of the history of Judaism in Europe, which is characterized by a quasi-continuous pattern of Christian oppression in which Jews had it "good" when they were treated as second-class people (only because they were necessary for the rulers/for trade) and bad when they were simply killed or deported? Many Jews remember this vividly, some of them have lived it. Some of my family who are still alive have lived it.
If you do have knowledge of this history, then you just don't care about this history and seek to perpetuate this pattern of injustice, which is quite mindboggling and immoral. In that case I can proudly say that my people is currently in a process of becoming stronger than ever before, and numerous organizations are active in bringing Jews back to Judaism, as opposed to leading them astray.
I know about the treatment many so-called Christians in Europe dealt to the Jews, but that doesn't negate my main point: a basic fundamental point of Christianity is that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6). I completely agree that those Europeans who oppressed the Jews were absolutely in the wrong, but I believe that proselytizing to Jews is just as much of a Biblical imperative as proselytizing to any other group. I don't see how my belief that Christians should lovingly present the Gospel to the Jewish people means that I am somehow defending past injustices against Jews. We're talking about two completely different things, and your implication that I am being "immoral" or somehow supporting past injustices by believing in the Great Commission is just baloney.
Look, the difference comes down to our worldview. I believe the Bible, in the Old and New Testaments, is the word of God. As such, I believe in the duty of the Great Commission as described in the New Testament, and I also believe that those who knowingly reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ will not inherit eternal life. So yes, I don't consider proselytizing to Jews to be evil, and I hope you accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
