Summary: 

I think what that Jewish community is objecting to is not proselytization
as such but the proselytization of children who are not equipted to form
an objective opinion.  To streach an argument ad absurdum, if one were
to distribute to a christian's child a book written in simple terms how
christ was an evil man and many of the worlds troubles are a direct
result of his teachings,  I think many christians would resort to violence
(and possibly rightly so).
