In addition to the points made in this very good thread, I think Christians proselytizing to Jews crosses the line into antisemitism especially because of supersessionism. https://twitter.com/jewish_activist/status/1328580482263617542
Proselytizing to anyone is, in my opinion, arrogant and annoying and usually a violation of consent. But when Christians proselytize to Jews, there's the additional bigotry of using our *own texts*, appropriated and re-interpreted, to try to tell us what's what.
There is no way to tell a Jewish person that Christianity is correct without incorporating the insult of the supersessionist assertion that Jews are incomplete and unfinished. It's impossible *not* to imply that Christianity is a replacement of Judaism.
That goes beyond just a violation of consent, or an arrogant assertion of theological certainty. That is a direct assault on Judaism that carries with it ancient wounds of appropriation and desecration. It's not just annoying, it's antisemitic
