I'm just explaining the perception. Jews in the US have a lot more contact with evangelicals than Muslims, and therefore many perceive the problem of evangelicals to be more acute.
Me, I'm a philo-Christian Jew who is trying to forge a solid alliance. But evangelicals turn the contact between the two groups into an adversarial situation, and force Jews into a position of having to defend their faith against conversion attempts.
I agree to the extent that this is a problem of perception. But I disagree with you about where the blame lies.
churchillbuff is correct that Christian evangelism is at worst a nuisance, and is easily dismissed if one isn't interested. To blame Christians for "forcing" an adversarial relationaship is, to use the author's word, risible. It is also sadly delusional.
Jews who spend even one moment worrying themselves over the "threat" of Christian evangelism, as compared to the murderous threat of Islamofascism, are indulging in a foolish --and potentially tragic--distraction.

Pretty interesting how the same accusation in return would be called "hate" speech, after all perception is ones reality.
