Netanyahu is not some supreme leader of the unified Jews of the world
No, but he represents the political will and direction of politics in Israel. Far right parties dominate the political landscape in Israel, and Israeli political interests and money (which, ironically, is often coming from the US) is used to influence politics in the US, like passage of anti-BDS laws in nearly every state in the US.
I feel like that lends some credibility to Sab’s point.
They said unified Jews of the world and you’ve said politics in Israel not even necessarily Jews but of Israel.
Way too often do these two things get confused as one and the same. Israel doesn’t help at all with this either so it’s frustrating to have someone implying they represent me out there doing things I certainly don’t agree with.
Honestly it would be like if Trump tried to imply he was doing what white people around the world wanted and I’m sure we all know that can’t be 100% honest.
