It was a cheap shot :-)

But it does get wearisome when people push the idea that Christian proselytizing is ipso facto a bad thing. One can flip this around and make the case that Jews are exclusionary. Rather than rail against either position, I think both are valid. That Jews have been able to keep their traditions intact for thousands of years is wonderful. So is the devotion and sacrifices Christians have made to spread their faith.

Besides, the threat to Jewish identity today is not Christianity, it is secularism.

It's a political alliance from an Israli side, and a theological one from a 'Christian' Zionist perspective. Jews don't share the beliefs of 'Christian' Zionists and have no use for them in their theology (in fact, they flatly reject 'Christian' Zionists' theology and are offended by it), while 'Christian' Zionists have only theological designs on Isral.
