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.

I don't disagree with his point about Netanyahu not being the voice for Jews in the US. Most Jews in the US are Reform, which is a pretty liberal interpretation of the religion. Even the Conservative sects of Judaism are pretty liberal, relatively speaking. The Orthodox, Hasidim, and the ultra-Orthodox sects are a tiny fraction of Jews in the US, but they exert tremendous political power in Israel. And because Israel has such an influence in US politics, the very conservative Jews--again, largely in Israel--exert outsized influence in US politics.
