Well, Israeli propaganda says that Iranians all love Jews so I'm not sure your point here. In fact it's the opposite issue, Israeli propaganda goes too far the other way and says many or most Iranians are closeted Zionists.

it doesn't even quite work. The Jewish religious tradition places the Patriarch Jacob at about 1650BCE, so that's only 3700 years or so.

In US, (federal) power (supposedly) derives from the constitution - president, congress, courts each allocated own powers directly from the code itself.

But.

The guy who shot Trump had no particular politics, researched shooting Biden, seems to have chosen Trump because he was closest and wanted to be a famous shooter. But that didn't stop Trump, Musk etc claiming it was a Democrat.
