I of course don't know what Jews you globally refer to.

My experience with Jewish apologists is that they're not educated enough to give better answers.

As for siding with athiests, I can actually hear that!

The xtian god is NOT the Jewish G-d so if an atheist has a valid argument against xtianity... hey, works for us too! That is not pretending.
G-d and Judaism were NOT just under attack.
Xtianity was.



If I were facing an atheist who said "God is evil and cruel" etc., my response would be, "Oh, so you're not an atheist!"
