Conversion of the Jews (future event): what Wikipedia removed

The article covers the Christian belief in a future mass conversion of Jews, and the organized efforts by some denominations to bring it about. The 2015 opening noted that “efforts to convert Jews to Christianity are sometimes regarded as anti-semitic,” while other churches maintained “this is not anti-semitic.” Today’s opening describes the belief and the proselytizing efforts and the Jewish groups formed to counter them, without stating that these efforts are regarded by some as antisemitic, though the word survives six times in the article. A reader today learns that groups have organized against Christian proselytizing of Jews and not that the proselytizing itself has been called antisemitic.

The word “antisemitism” appeared 2 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2015. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 6. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
