If your argument is that Israel is secular, doesn't that even further undercut the argument that Israel must be a Jewish state? Can somebody please name me a civilized country in the world that is governed by one ethnic group alone, to the extent that this ethnic group must always govern, or all is lost? (Edit: Japan, of course, but let's don't go there, shall we? Don't EVEN get me started on the way Japan treats "foreign devils". A good friend of mine lost her life there due to the way the medical system handles foreign devils.) I recognize that Arabs and Muslims are allowed to be part of the Israeli government, which I think even FURTHER undercuts the argument that Israel must remain a Jewish state. I am certainly not the first person to point out that due to simple demographics Jews won't remain the majority ethnic group in Israel forever. Then what?
