Here’s the reality:
It’s not Jews who are against xianity, it’s secularists & atheists (some of whom happen to be Jewish)
In Judaism itself, we do not care about xianity, it doesn’t hold a special place in our theology for good or for bad. It’s simply a non-factor in what we do

Don’t get me wrong: it is forbidden for a Jew to share those beliefs, but this is no different than it being forbidden for someone who claims to be of your religion to spurn belief in the trinity or the divinity of a human being.
You say it’s necessary, we say it’s forbidden.

That doesn’t mean Jews, especially in modern day America, hate xianity.
Historically, there was mistreatment which lead to people being fearful, and we certainly do not appropriate missionary work, but neither do you appreciate people trying to take people away from your faith.

The people who fight to remove nativity scenes from public spaces are usually the same people who also fight to remove public menorah lightings from the public square.
It has nothing to do with Judaism, but rather them being secularists/atheists than (some of them) being Jews.

Now, it’s true on the other hand that we don’t want one religion specifically being forced on everyone in the public square, but as a rule we are fine with non-denominational prayers/moments of silence/acknowledgment of G-d that are not specific to one movement alone.
From a Jewish perspective, we also believe that non-Jews who follow the 7 Laws of Noah will go to heaven, so no need to convert.
We don’t believe you need to become Jews, we don’t want you to, we want you to stay yourselves but join us in worshipping G-d

At the end of days, we don’t believe all non-Jews will be eradicated or, despite what antisemites like to lie about, that non-Jews will be slaves to us or any such nonsense.
We believe that all nations will unite, live in peace, and all worship G-d, His word coming from Zion.

So, please, don’t listen to people who try to foment hatred and division.
We don’t hate you, and we don’t hate your religion. We might have disagreements, things we don’t see eye to eye, but genuinely, we don’t sit around seething and hoping for your destruction.
