(let's set aside for now the fact that in the case of Israel it's not just religious but ethnic as well, which means certain types of Jews aren't included)

These religious states are leftovers from an older, objectively worse world. We shouldn't want them to be our future. The people of Israel deserve freedom and equality, regardless of their religion or ethnicity.
Israel is unique in that it is majority Jewish and people of other religions want to kill them. This is why there are only about 15 million Jewish people on the planet. There are more Muslims in Russia than there are Jews in Israel. I think progressives are being a little too idealistic in thinking they can create a Democratic Palestine and everyone (Christian, Muslims and Jews) will be one free big happy family. In reality, we would just watch another Jewish Holocaust for this century.

Yep. I’m not sure that would trouble as many folks as we think.
