First of all, they often did, notably in the Iberian peninsula.

Secondly, God's former chosen people.

Jews didn't have land.

>Why did the christians forcibly convert and persecute the pagans but not the jews?

1. THE ENTITY DOING THE PERSECUTING, AND CONVERSIONS, WAS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

2. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS JUDEOCHRISTIAN.

3. BEING JUDEOCHRISTIAN, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS AN AGENT OF ABRAHAMISM, HOMOLOGOUS TO JUDAISM, THEREFORE IT WOULD BE INCONGRUOUS TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO GO AGAINST AN HOMOLOGUE.

Because according to Augustine jews need to remain jews and must suffer humiliation to show to the christian people how God is mighty and how he punish those who disobey to him.

Jews provided a valuable service to Christendom (And the Islamic world), Usury, Money lending, loans etc. Christians and Muslims can't lend money, they can't do interest, but they can borrow. So the Jews had to stay for that purpose.

It helps too that they believe in the same God and your God was a Jew

They didn't?

We friends now?

that is not exact, they gave them the option convert or leave, hundreds of thousands left, and the Spanish used their "Secret services" to make sure those who had chosen to remain in the country had converted and were not practicing judaism in secret.

the reason why Jews were not forcibly converted is that Christians consider them to be God's unfinished business, so we leave them up to God to do with them what he pleases. If they convert good, if not, it is Gods business.

Um... Christians forcibly converted and persecuted Jews for thousands of years. That's, like, a BIIIIIIIG part of Jewish history. The only difference is that Jews survived and remained a significant ethnoreligious group.

1. They actually did do this, multiple times, over the course of two thousand years.
2. Jews are, on the whole, both intelligent enough to rationally defend their faith and stubborn enough not to abandon it even when the alternatives were being relegated to ghettos at best and being killed on the streets at worst.

Nigger please, bankers were a staple of late roman economy and medieval economy. Moneylending was a big business and it sure as shit wasn't limited to jews. Every big merchant did it (not to mention a good few clerics), it wasn't hard at all to find some legal wiggle room.
