Why are you so worried about the two being in any way connected?
It is quite clear that there are some links. No one is saying he is endorsed by the state of Israel, but to say there is no relationship between him and some Israeli actors seems slightly ignorant.

Apologies for non-Albion related, but here's a good one from this week that came out; Ashley Williams making up a story about hate he received on the back of a game that never actually happened.
I'm Albion+ and do I'd say 75% of aways - I have about 280 points because of this and accept that I cannot do Bournemouth, fulham, brentford but until this season could stilll do the big london games (Europe obviously changed away attendances for points).
Your friend unfortunately has come up...
