It's certainly the opinion of many, but not all. Anyway, the point is any culture has the inherent right to defend itself and repel invaders. The porovidence of their respective deities is somewhat secondary as it is endlessly debatable, and can and will be skewed to disfavor any opposing forces from within the perspective of any given group being opposed.
The Son proclaimed the Father of the Old Testament, quite explicitly, and was identified by the prophets of the God of the Old Testament. To denounce the Old Testament witnesses that identified the Son is to denounce the completion and corroboration of the testimony of the Son.
Again, as you repeated yourself, if your claim is that Judaism worships a different god, you’re free to make the case.
I am somewhat familiar with Gnosticism, and its habit of repeating itself, and playing very fast and loose with facts, evidence, and logic whenever it finds it convenient to do so, though there are limited aspects of it that I have an appreciation for. The repetition and evasiveness tend to grind my patience.
There are things that I know that I will not state to a gnostic to try and show reasoning or “score points” in an argument, because I do not expect the gnostic to treat those facts with the respect they deserve.
Both Judaism and Christianity worship YHWH.
Jews deny the divinity of Christ. Christians believe in the Triune God of Father SON, and Holy Spirit. Therefore, NOT the same God.

This argument shows up here every so often, and is either accidentally very wrong, or very intentionally misleading.
The Old Testament and New Testament God are the same. If your claim is that Judaism worships a different god, you’re free to make the case.
