Most Jews consider attempts to convert Jews to Christianity as effectively being anti-Semitic.

And understandingly so...But it does not however relieve us from the responsibility to witness to Jews, or anyone else...

Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.
Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Rom 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Rom 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.

Sad but true, millions of church-goers haven't solved this mystery yet, even tho the answer is right there...

I agree with you. And out of my love for them, I wish Jewish people everywhere the best of everything in life - including a personal relationship with my Lord. If they do not accept Him as their Messiah, I still love them dearly. It pains me when people don't.

Doesn't mean I'm perfect in all of my attitudes towards other religionists either. But the Israelites and Jews are unique in God's economy in many regards. In their history. In their future with Him. He will be faithful to them even when they have been unfaithful to Him. And He will be their God and they His people in a not-too-distant time in the future.
