Anonymous asked:

do you see israel as a secular or a religious issue

Religious one; the entire settler state is built on the supposition that the Jewish people have a divine right to settle there and expel the natives belonging to that region. The biblical and historical Israel was a religious kingdom, to which the Zionists may draw connections upon in history, religion and culture. Furthermore, there are various laws in Israel that are explicitly religious in civil matters, such as marriage, housing, social, public affairs and exclusive rights not enjoyed by other communities, such as law of return. There is no absolute equality between religions in fact, with the religion of the majority playing a role in public life, despite the supposed respect for freedom of conscience and religion. Israel's foundational issue is that it lacks an intergrated consitution, because of whether the definition of Jewishness is secular or religious. Whenever a draft for a consitituion was proposed, it engendered controversy from both the secular and religious aspects of the knesset, ultimatelt being discarded. There's also the issue of religious institutions. Most Jewish religious organizations are supported by the government and enjoy tax exemptions, while non-Jewish institutions are often undersupported.

There are many things I can say to refute the idea that it's a secular state, but even when Ben Gurion was ready to sign the declaration's final draft, he affirmed the Torah, but was met with criticism from the religious leaders, because it did not adequately affirm the Divine revelations from Sinai as the basis of the religious founding of Judaism. The fact that some of religious elements were omitted from the final draft, drew so much controversy between the secular and religious parties, which is why there's no consitution in Isreal.
