Do you consider Israel a theocracy because it wants to remain a Jewish state?

Yes, by definition.

Is France a theocracy for wanting to remain French?

No, that is nationalism. And that is a great analogy. Zionism is at root nationalism. The desire of the Nazi party to have a homogenous culture is similiar to the desire of Israel to have a homogenous culture.

That does not make Israel a theocracy any more than the successes of the Christian Coalition in American politics makes the US a theocracy.

Wow, that's a beauty! Let's stand back admire that statement in all its stupidity.
