Given the historical reality of coercion, persecution and forced conversions, it is inappropriate for Christians (and for Muslims, btw) to try and convert Jews.
...
Why is it ok to actively try and lead people away from their traditions? It is really the height of disrespect, especially considering the incredibly privileged position Christianity has in the US and in much of Europe (Israel is kind of a different situation of course).
...
This mechanism, a mechanism of oppression and inequality, would be exactly the same as in Germany, 1850. Converting Jews means actively trying to spiritually destruct the Jewish people, which is the height of immorality.
...
In principle I agree with you, and even if I consider it extremely immoral and disgusting I don't think it should be illegal to proselytize among Jews in the Western world, but Israel is kind of a different case. It is the only Jewish state and at least in Israel, Jews should be safe from attempts to spiritually destruct the Jewish people.
Wow DavidB, when did you become a progressive Tumblr SJW? Your arguments are that "Group A is special because Group B was once mean to it, so now Group A gets a special safe space where no one from Group B who disagrees is allowed to have any differing views." The peaceful, free exchange of ideas is not triggering, oppressive, or immoral.
