While this is mostly true, it is worth noting that Christians believe they worship the same god as Jews (even if Jews don't believe what Christian's believe).

This is important because there is a strong fundamentalist Christian lobby group in the US that supports Israel politically for these religious reasons.
- LegitShady 4y agoas I said, each group is happy to co-opt the holy books of the one before it to assert their own credibility. christians take the jewish holy books and add their own ending, but the idea of a son of god is anathema in judaism. Muslims take jesus as a prophet, and judaism as well, but disregard both for their own rules. etc etc. So what christians believe is very self serving in terms of taking judaisms books to coopt for their benefit. Jews definitely dont believe any part of the new testament and believe jesus to be a false messiah. the feel good nature of "let the believers band together against the nonbelievers" is the gaslighting that lets people talk about how its all the same god, when it clearly isn't.
