>> You don't think that Islam is established in Egypt?

Oh of course it is. And it sucks there too just as it does in Israel. But it is a sorry state of affairs when you have to compare yourself to Egypt and Saudi, don't you think?

My point was that either you believe in individual freedom, in which case such laws are nonsense; people would adhere to "Jewish law" if they personally believed in them (and not otherwise). Or you don't, in which case you'd legislate religion and the hell with the will of the people.

It is precisely because most Israelis are secular that I believe the change away from legislating religion will come sooner rather than later.

Because it's being set up on the homeland of another religio-ethnic group, by people who should have known better than to rob and kill indigenous, and who did it anyway, and who are still doing it now, long after the establishment of such projects has passed out of favour

What an example to the others you mention ... who, by the way, have lost any possibility of a land link between them as a result of zionist conquest from sea to sea [which relates to another recent post of yours, in which you make out like the taking of twenty thousands of square kilometres is insignificant]
