I hate the Judeo-Christian term. Jews and Christians don't even have the same values. Christians are more about salvation (being saved in the next life) where Jews don't even really believe in hell. Jews are more about following rituals and traditions as a controlled environment is a safe environment (where Christians think the old traditions have been bunked). Add in the fact that Christians interpreted the old testament so vastly different then Jews, and you'll see this term is empty.
Then there is the fact that outside of supporting Israel, American Christians tend to be bigoted towards the Jews.
The only thing Jews and Christians share in common is being mostly white. That's as deep as it goes for these people, they don't know a thing about Israel
Except Jews aren't white enough most of the time. Their skin color doesn't seem to be relevant either.
I think the average uneducated American perception of Israel is a bunch of white guys with funny hair and black suits. Most are totally unaware of the details of the Palestine conflict or other nuances
I'm not even talking about Israelis. Plenty of white Christian Americans don't think of Jews as white.
Idk just a difference of opinion then I guess. Living in america, all of the jews I've known personally have been decidedly pale. But I'm not christian or racist so it's hard to say what they think.
Like I said, it isn't about skin color. My whole family is Jewish. I've experienced this on a personal level.
Catholics have a ton in common with Jews. I say this being in an interfaith marriage and being raised catholic. I often feel however, that I have more in common with Jews than Christians. Most Christians have gone off the deep end interpreting Jesus fan fiction as fact.
"Judeo-Christian" is not a category of people, it's a category of religious belief.
Sorry for the rant.
One of the telltale signs of what you are saying is renaming the "most Arab" parts of Palestine as the "Negev." In the Old Testament the Negev was the semi-arid valley around Beersheba. Everything south of it belonged to the Ishamaleites.
Now, they renamed half of Palestine to the Negev to hide the fact that the borders of Palestine have nothing to do with the kingdoms of Israel or Judah and hiding the fact that modern day Palestine had native populations of Amorites, Phoenicians, Israelites, Judahites, Philistines, and Arabs even in "Israel's heyday."
Same god though
They don't always agree on that. In fact I was watching a Jewish rabbi and he was talking about Islam. He said Islam has the same God but Christianity has the same relevations. Thus only together did Islam and Christianity spread Judaism to the masses.
