Absolutely. I always thought that if Israel would be a strict Theocracy, the Arabs would have made peace with them long ago. It is Israel’s Western secularism that makes them unacceptable… mostly. They would still be fighting, but with less outrage. If you have a Muslim on one side of the table, pointing to the Koran and saying no land must ever leave the House of Islam, and a religious Jew on the other side of the table, pointing to the Old Testament and saying that G-d gave the land of Israel to the Jews, you do not have any way to split the difference on that argument, but each guy knows exactly where the other is coming from. It is only when you substitute a westernized post-Zionist for the religious Jew, who tries to negotiate the difference, that you get real outrage from the Muslims.
