"Jews laugh at Christianity."
Jesus was Jewish. The disciples were Jewish. The first 13,000 converts were Jewish, Christianity was birthed in the land of the Jews, the New Testament was written by Jews, and Christians believe that the Jewish scriptures are God's Word. I'm Jewish, and any Jew who believes the God-breathed Old Testament will embrace Jesus of Nazareth as their promised Messiah.

Except for the minor fact that Jesus didn't fulfill any of the recognized Messianic prophecies of the OT. For instance:
Isaiah 2:4
He shall judge between the nations,
And rebuke many people;
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.
Christians have to resort to the excuse that Jesus will do this in his second coming but of course the OT says nothing about the Messiah having to appear twice.
Unless, of course, they actually know the prophecies of the messiah, in which case they will, indeed, laugh at you for insisting that 2+2=raspberry applesauce and that 4 is a lie from Satan used to mislead people. Seriously, Ray. A brick checks off more boxes on a list of the hallmarks of an airplane than Jesus checked off on the list of the hallmarks of the messiah.
Christianity may have started out as Jewish, but now it's something completely different: virgin births, the trinity, God becoming human and other pagan concepts that were added once Paul encouraged gentiles to convert and said the OT law was no longer good.

Kikiki kakaka kauana!
Kei waniwania taku tara
Kei tarawahia, kei te rua i te kerokero!
He pounga rahui te uira ka rarapa;
Ketekete kau ana to peru kairiri
Mau au e koro e Hi! Ha!
Ka wehi au ka matakana,
Ko wai te tangata kia rere ure?
Tirohanga nga rua rerarera
Nga rua kuri kakanui i raro! Aha ha!
Ka mate, ka mate! ka ora! ka ora!
Ka mate! ka mate! ka ora! ka ora!
Tenei te tangata puhuruhuru
Nana nei i tiki mai whakawhiti te ra
A, upane! ka upane!
A, upane, ka upane, whiti te ra!

And I've probably played more Rugby in my time - in PE at school, etc - than you've ever seen , therefore my claim has infinitely more credibility than yours ever will.
"I'm Jewish, and any Jew who believes the God-breathed Old Testament..."
Have you ever eaten a cheeseburger?
Have you ever had shrimp or bacon?
Ever worn clothes woven of two kinds of fiber?
Ever planted two kinds of seed in the same field?
Oh, and what is today's date?
Confused?
