but there is no Christian moral imperitive [sic] to intervene in religious disputes between Muslims and Jews. Both these religions reject Jesus as the Messiah and share the same dietary rules.

However only one of them is still the covenant people of God. As far as "share the same dietary rules," ha ha ha, as though that has any relevance to anything except that the Muslims got them, along with most of the rest of their religious "history," from the Arabian Jews (and Arabian Christians).

still the covenant people of God.

Christians are the new covenant people of God.

"But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9)

For the sake of the old covenant, the official policy of traditional Christianity toward Judaism is toleration, beyond that extended toward Muslims or pagans. However, there is no traditional Christian endorsement of post-messianic Jewish religion, since Christ is the sole means of salvation. Christians are under no obligation to take sides in external religious disputes among Muslims, Jews, or pagans.
