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.

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.

Maybe it's regional or a recent change; it's been a minute since I was in high school, and my university studies were not in the humanities.

Perhaps. It was mid 90s, at the onset of the Politically Correct era.

And i went to an engineering school, but they had us take humanities courses so we would be well rounded and able to communicate good and stuff.
