Evangelical Christians, by definition, believe Jews should convert to Christianity

So, by implication, Jews are inferior in their beliefs.

That sounds unAmerican.

More accurately,

Evangelical Christians, by definition, believe everyone should convert to Christianity

Jesus is the King of the Jews.

You think His beliefs are 'inferior'?

What sounds "unAmerican" is attempting to conjure up an 'implication' as you call it, where none exists. This is also known as the 'straw man gambit', which in cases like this would be followed by invoking the phrase 'anti-Semitism'.

The word, if one must look for a word regarding the beliefs of Jews, is 'uncompleted'.

They are still living in the Old Testament, while God has completed His Work which was begun in the O.T., with His redemptive work of the New Testament.

Israel rejected their Messiah the first time around.

They'll understand their error when He returns the Second time.
