This is a very common habit of our modern propaganda, to use the position of an expert in very narrow field as an authoritarian position to promote political agenda... Moreover, dead cannot speak, and it's very easier to use them for this.

Except in this case, Einstein very much was a philosopher in addition to a physicist. His philosophical writings weren’t as stand-out as his physics, but they weren’t shabby either. He was offered the job of the first leader of Israel, not because he was a great physicist, but because he thought deeply about philosophical and political issues. He did write quite a bit in his own contemplated voice in these subjects. It is true though that a reinterpretation of his voice can become problematic.
