Judaism has its origins sometime in the immediate vicinity of 600bc. Before that, there was a shared culture of which they would have been a subsect. A lot of the ot prophets are espousing the judahite viewpoint leading up to the destruction of Israel and subsequent transportation to Babylon.
That event was seen as confirmation of the criticism they had with respect to the kingdom and people of Israel- who’d mixed the races, diluting the covenant, and abandoned what judahite authors believed to be their genuine sacred contents either explicitly, or by default of behavior. They would be punished by god for their transgressions, and sure enough, an army came marching over the hill.
The kingdom of Israel suffered disproportionate losses in the short conflict, and this would show both pre and post exile with the reformation and codification of a new culture in the aftermath of that tragedy. Irony being that the people who then returned were a distinct ethnicity and religion to both those groups which preceded them culturally and historically.
TLDR version, Muslims are no more Christian than Christian’s are Jewish, no would it be accurate to conflate a Jewish person with a Hebrew person or a Hebrew with a Canaanite- even though the narratives that they each organize their societies around share a common literary heritage. There are five distinct gods with a relationship to a borrowed ladder. The only reason that there is ever any notion that they’re the same is when it serves the interests of god botherers to consolidate their social authority. Otherwise they’d just as soon and always have killed each other over it.
