    Last I checked, the number of Jews in New York state alone and the number of Jews in Israel was pretty close to equal.

      I think that’s the conflation - Jews in Israel and Jews in New York state fall into the set Jews. However the right wing supporters of Netenyahu’s government are but a subset of the former.

      A better comparison would be that the number of Jews in New York state was once close to the number of peaceful Palestinians and peaceful Israelis; meanwhile, the number of hardline genocidal Israelis was roughly equal to the number of Hamas terrorists. Those sets seem a better match, as they share more core categorical features.
