I’ve always been well aware of the “god” connection between the two and Islam and will make a point to refer to it more consistently as monotheism moving forward as it’s a more all inclusive and accurate terminology anyway.
I found the linked article one the US’s relationship to Israel also interesting. I don't know much about these histories and how they go back to cold war tensions etc.
