There is a concept of "children of god" in the sense that the whole world is created by god so god beget the world. In that way God is the father of all, from plants to animals to humans. Without saying more in this month or Ramadan, I know for a fact that Jews are fiercely monotheistic. They reject christ as son of god in addition reject the divine birth of Christ that he was born w/o a father (which we accept) This line is certainly not grounded in truth. Although there could be different interpretations of this and in the end Allah knows best. At times in Salafi Islam bending the truth is allowed to continue a just fight. In this sura, Allah is asking muslims to fight Jews and Christians, i.e. to see a justification for it. Perhaps its this reason why its necessary to draw a parallel between them so that a fight against them is justified. otherwise. the Jewish faith is far closer to the Muslim faith than christians.
