I think he had made reference to the position taken by the Jewish Anti-Defamation League. There are other Jewish organizations that formulate and promulgate opinions as well. However, even these cannot lay claim to representing the thoughts and feelings of all Jewish people. I think they often portray the passions of the majority, though. Depending on your perspective, it has been the misfortune or the fortune in the history of the Jews that they be segregated and forced to congregate together such that they developed a common set of values, traditions, and goals.
