Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "Israel is NOT a Religious State. It is a Jewish state. ... But how many times can you repeat the same thing to Bilow? He never listens."

You're indefatigable. You'll keep repeating the same lies about Israel until Israel finally gets absorbed into the continuum. But the fact that you can't even convince me suggests that Israel's task of convincing the Palestinians of the same lies is quite hopeless.

Whatever you want to call it, a "Jewish" state or a "religious" state, it doesn't matter. Israel is a state that is defined by a particular "group". Whatever mysterious manner you want to describe that group, it really doesn't matter. Israel will not achieve equality while it is, by the clear evidence of its laws, a discriminatory state.

In order to give the Israeli Arabs first class citizenship, Israel would have to remove all laws that distinguish between people on the basis of "Jewishness" or whatever you want to call it. But that's just the start. To complete the process, Israel would have to give advantages to the Arabs similar to the advantages that the US has given to its minorities.

Like I've said before, Israel does not have the power or the empathy to survive. The US has both, and will not only survive, but will prosper.
