Interesting idea but.. As a former Jew (was never religious though) I've read that it's very common for Jews to become atheist because the religion isn't focused on forcing beliefs or converting, and there's even an element of logic and intelligence (hew stereotype? Works for me.) so I feel like perhaps it would be almost.. Uncalled for, and ineffective to go after the Jews. We could maybe do a one day thing where we make fun of the awesome food and even maybe the stereotypes.

Actually I think Judaism is really nice! They never force their beliefs on anyone, and their beliefs are pretty peaceful in the first place. From what I've heard they don't even really have a "hell".

Israel is actually full of fundamentalist Jews. We're talking hardcore crazy. Western Jews are way more liberal and secular. You would not like being an infidel in Israel.

Um. Jesus is still a prophet in the Muslim faith.

Jesus Christ, as depicted in the various Christian Bibles, is the son of God, and is "our lord and savior", also King of the Jews.
In the Qu'ran, Jesus is a prophet. Wiki article for more information
So, attacking Islam is still attacking Jesus, albeit a different version.

You're all absolutely wrong. 'Jesus' was named John, he was a 12,000 year old man at the time due to a genetic abnormality that let him live forever. He had met the Buddha 500 years before and he wanted to share his teachings. He mentioned he 'had a master greater than himself'.
