I agree. It seems that hatred of anything ‘Jewish’ has once again taken hold of so-called ‘Christians’ and the so-called ‘church’. The ‘church’ (not in Scripture, anywhere (it is the ‘ecclesia’) seems to have decided to hate the very people group who gave us Yeshua. And we know where that hatred comes from. And it isn’t God.

It's not a hatred of "anything Jewish" (well maybe it is for some people but there's all sorts of nuts out there) but a recognition that we are Christians first and foremost. We follow Christ alone, and those who don't accept Him as Lord and Savior will not be saved. I know people find this controversial but it's basic Christian teaching for two millennia as Jesus Himself said it.
There is no such thing as "judeo-christianity", it's just Christianity. People who practice Judaism and do not accept Christ are not redeemed. They are lost. We should pray for them, treat them kindly, and share the gospel with them, not pretend we are some sort of nebulous common religion and they get a free pass to salvation. And we should absolutely not be following their advice on *anything* theology or morality related. Just as we wouldn't from a Muslim or Hindu. We are Christians, but often seem to forget that.
(Side note in that this is why I get so annoyed at Christians lapping up Ben Shapiro's lecturing on morality, and his arrogance in thinking he has any say in telling Christians how to behave. Would you accept that from an imam or a shaman?)
I put a long post below describing where this stuff originated and at it's core is a rejection of the centrality of Christ. But there is no other way. This other stuff is meant to mislead people, call it judeo-christianity, christlamism, new age nonsense, or whatever, but it's all the same. It's message is that there are many paths to salvation, and Christ is one of many ways.
I call it judeo-christianity as that's how it's most commonly known and it has pervaded many churches, it's not to single out Judaism. It's moral relativism rather than New Testament biblical truth. But to be clear, Talmudic Judaism without Christ is a false religion. If you disagree with that you have a problem with the New Testament, not me.

You are “right on”.
