To be honest, this whole “Judeo-Christian” thing was nothing more than a way of conservative Protestants to include Catholics, other Protestants, and Jews in without saying what they really mean “conservative Protestantism.” Your religious tradition isn’t theirs at all and neither is mine. But they know they have to sound somewhat inclusive.

Pretty sure that the conservative Christian fetishism for Israel is of a similar vein. They don’t really like Israel itself, they just like what it represents to them: the fact that it exists validates their concept of the end times in their views.
