< if Israel wasn't controlled by "secular" jews>

That is not what I understand - there are "tests" for your Jewishness for position in higher office and because they don't have a constitution, this is all very behind the scenes. Let's face it, Sammy Davis couldn't have risen to PM nor could most American Jews because they aren't considered "real Jews". The more orthodox you are the higher you on the food chain in Israeli government, so much so that it is my understanding that all high level posts require it. While religious freedom is given lip service, how many of our other allies have their religion branded on their national flag? That is a statement - like the stars and bars in the South. It is elitist and separatist - a truly two tiered system. America seems to feel badly for them but that ended for me many years ago, and not because being anti-Israel is the same as being anti-Semitic.
