What the heck has this got to do with this article?
Uh, gee. I wonder what it was I was reading. Oh wait, maybe it was little snippets of the article like this: The State of Israel is as often referred to as 'The Jewish State' as it is by its proper name.
As of the 2005 projected Israeli census figures, Israel's own demographics break down like this:
There are just over five million Jews holding Israeli citizenship. There are 1.3 million Israeli-Arabs who enjoy full Israeli citizenship. Of these, 1.1 million are Muslims, 116,900 Christian Arabs, and 116,900 Druze. In addition, there are 278,300 classified as 'other' broken down further as 27,400 non-Arab Christians with 250,900 “unclassified.”
Broken down as percentages, it works out to something along the lines of 82% Jews, 9% Arabs, and 9% Christians. So, while the overwhelming majority of Israel's population is Jewish, not every Israeli is a Jew.
Indeed, if one takes the CIA's World Factbook at face value, one ends up with an even smaller percentage of Jews to non-Jews. The CIA World Factbook breaks it down to; Jewish 76.5%, Muslim 15.9%, Arab Christians 1.7%, other Christian 0.4%, Druze 1.6%, unspecified 3.9%.
Before moving on, let's take a look at how the CIA World Factbook breaks down the US population by religion (it is quite illustrative to our ultimate point): Protestant 52%, Roman Catholic 24%, Mormon 2%, Jewish 1%, Muslim 1%, other 10%, none 10%.
Using the same source that classifies Israel as 78.5% Jewish, we find that the United States of America is 78% Christian and 22% Other Than Christian.
And THAT'S how Jewish the “Jewish State” is.
It is as Jewish as America is Christian. Give or take a half of one percentage point. When was the last time that America was referred to by the mainstream media, (or by anybody else except Osama bin Laden) as “the Christian State”?
