Israel is not a THEOCRACY ... but a member of “the West” and as a modern democratic country — upholds the rights of all civilians, either under military or civilian control. They also uphold all religious rights of the major religions ... and protect all religious sites.
>> Israel is not a THEOCRACY ...
I beg to differ. Israel is EXACTLY a theocracy, struggling to reconcile that with the demands of their political existence as a democracy.
In much the same way as we Christians struggle to “be in the world, but not of the world”.
