Even though Netanyahu is Jewish, he knows using (and in this case abusing) the Christian bible is a good way to keep support going among US evangelicals and the new Speaker of the House.

Sounds like he’s culturally appropriating American behaviour.

OP, do you know where the books of Moses in the old testament come from?

Exactly, it’s a copy of the Jewish Torah which Netanyahu quoted.

Your comment could be easily taken as antisemitic. Our only rule at Beehaw is to be(e) nice. Please, keep this in mind for the future. BTW, you are using that Psalm outside of its historical context and does not apply to modern religious Jews.
