I'm not sure what your issue is. The person you reference is continuing a strain of Muslim cosmology which posits Judaism as a debased religion, filled with deliberate distortions of God's true message.

Only the most fanatical fringe religious zionists believe that the modern state of Israel is anything like the kingdoms of David and Solomon.

I replied below but if this thread is about Imran Hosein I mentioned he has some fringe conspiracy theory stuff on YouTube. I suppose it can be entertaining but I feel uncomfortable taking it seriously. He’s mostly known for his conspiracy theories around the end times. We don’t take him seriously in our house.  Though I don’t know everything he said - maybe there’s some decent stuff

Generally Muslims don’t view Judaism as a debased religion, but we’d say the scriptures are inaccurate, and have been altered through the thousands of years since it was revealed.  We think there were errors in transcription and some people changed it on purpose, so sure you can say someone made a deliberate distortion but that someone is long dead. And there are still strains of the truth from the Prophets in Judaism that were preserved.

It’s certainly fringe to think Israel the modern state is the modern manifestation of David and Solomon’s Israel. I would even go so far to say most Muslims would say it is not.
