I'll fine tune my question : can a jewish person practice/speak of judaism without concern for the nation of Israel ? I know most Hindus would not speak of hinduism without concern for whats currently called India (the original name was Hindustan).

It's an ethnically based religion kumar. This is also not true, converts from any ethnicity can become Jewish. Just because you've said that your little community is going to think there is "something different" about the convert doesn't make them non-Jewish. How about if a Jewish family adopts an orphan - isn't it probably going to end up Jewish? What's ethnic about that? And again, over time the USA is the great destroyer of all things ethnic, so the USA poses a great threat to any ethnically based anything.
