One thing I want to say about conversion. At this present time there are no violent conversions in the western world (that would be a strong reason to fight). No organisation or human can convert another healthy adult against his will. Those attempts may be annoying sometimes. So what? Turn around and go your way. You don't need to see it as a threat.
Dana, I'm sorry that my post is off topic. I remember no parallel of Luke 6.
Yes, you are correct, no one seems to be converting anyone by force nowadays anyway (although the Church has a very long history as well as Islam of doing so). In contrast, I don't see any history of forced conversion by the Jewish people that I know of.
Yes, we should just turn around an be on our way. But sometimes things go over the line.
It would be something like satan worshipers handing out pamphlets at the Vatican or during an event, it's just not "kosher".
You may not agree, but for Christian organizations to spend millions upon millions of dollars just to convert Jews seems like the money could be better well spent helping those in need. I realize there is a lot of money that goes to helping those in need, but another few million would be nice!
