All she did was point out what ought to be obvious to Jews and Christians alike - that evangelical Christians think Jews (and everyone else) should convert, and Jews (and everyone else) have not done so.

Given that evangelical Christians also emphasize that conversion only counts if it is willing and sincere, how can anyone object?

I don’t mind Muslims wanting me to become Muslim - I only object because they think my free will in the matter is irrelevant.

Given the history of forced conversion being foisted on Jews at various times, you’ll have to forgive us for not appreciating what she says.

I don’t object to her stating the substance of what she said (even though the media distorted it). That I disagree with the substance is immaterial to my view that she is hurting her cause by stating things the way she does. Though I disagree with her on some fundamental religious issues, on most things I agree with her on the substance of what she talks about. That is why it pains me to see her mouthing off like she usually does (most of the time having zero to do with religion) - because she irritates people, sometimes on purpose, and these people automatically dismiss her AND HER VIEWPOINTS. IOW, I believe that most of the time she’s hurting the conservative cause.

There’s more than one way to skin a cat, and she almost always seems to pick the way that makes the most noise and bothers the most people. Issues of religion and free will have nothing whatsoever to do with my opinion in this matter.
