When an air force general uses a term like Judeo-Christian that is worrying. The brainwashing runs high. There’s no such thing as Judeo-Christian. Judaism and Christianity are vastly different religions albeit related. It’s a propaganda term to create an emotional tie with the US and Israel. No one says Judeo-Islam or Judeo-Mormon because it’s idiotic.
You could talk about abrahamic religions, that encompasses Judaism, Christianism, and Islamism because in theory all three worship the same God, but of course they are never grouped like that because they don’t want to be related with Muslims.
Also the Cristian and Jewish holy books both contain the Old Testament stories.
The Air Force has had an evangelical problem for a long time.
I came in here to say just this. I’m a Jewish clergyman, so I deal with this kind of shit a lot. The term isn’t just brainwashing; it’s actively seeking to erase Judaism as part of Christianity. It’s shit like this, combined with Christian Nationalism, which makes me jumpy at first when someone identifies as a Christian.
From an armchair political science hot take, it signals something akin to worldwide NATO, inclusive rather than anti-semetic.
Certainly tons of baseless anti semetic crap does exist, i just don’t see this concept that way.
On its face, I’d agree, but the term is used almost exclusively by the hyper-right wing. No one outside of that sphere uses the term (at least as far as I’ve experienced).
My public high school and college courses did.
It has been a very common academic term for many decades.
God I appreciate you and this comment so much. Thank you for acknowledging something us Jews suffer to point out constantly.
