Not really all that accurate. I think the author could stand to read the section about the Puritans in Fischer's Albion's Seed: The Four British Folkways in America. Further, trying to coopt the covenants of Israel as the Puritans did (and many of today's Calvinists still do) is a very far cry from saying that they were more "Jewish" than "Protestant."

This is so stretched

First, the Bible they carried was THE GENEVA Bible, NOT the Holy Jewish Bible!

Unless someone shows me where the Geneva Bible translation into English was secretly called The Holy Jewish Bible...

Second, referring to a people being called out to go to anbother land, using Israelites as a reference, isn’t that what ANY Bible believer would call themselves if they were to use a Biblical reference at all??

Was their ANY other people called by God’s name other than jews?

NO!

This author makes a stretch, not a valid point.
