The irony in the term "Judeo-Christian"

It is all in the title. It always bugs me when religious apologists, christian nationalists or those playing identity politics invoke this term. I mean, what is jew in past and contemporary societies with a strong christian heritage? They always says "it was in the OT!!". If we are not to consider the OT (unless for the "I am your Lord and you will worship only me" bit). Why put two third of pages in the Bible if you don't care about it?

Lastly, it seems to me very hypocritical for societies that persecuted Jews for 2000 years to say that.
