Stooge?
I made a post at a political forum.
" What is your view towards the outspoken Malaysian Prime Minister ? He seemed to touch the nerve of some Europeans as well as the US leaders recently "
This is the response I get
" I am wondering why you were not bothered by his statements. You clearly excluded yourself from the comment. Do you believe that you are a stooge for the Jews as Mahathir said? You ask for our opinions; what about your opinion? You curiously seem to have side stepped it. "
The question is I don't quite get what ' a stooge ' mean in the sentence even with the help of some dictionairies.

In political discussions, "stooge" is usually a disparaging term that refers to a marginally intelligent crony who does their boss's bidding. e. one who does the bidding of another (here its the Jews) without question or thought.

If that's what this guy means then I should have flared up at the Malaysian Leader's statement, right. But he said I didn't seem to be bothered by it.

I must admit that I don't fully understand what this person is saying. If those are the complete posts, I'd say that they are being needlessly antagonistic.
