My point was (and is) - that to exercise that right, they do not have to be practicing Judaism, they don't have to even believe in God.
To be part of the "Jewish people" is not a religion - it's an ethnicity.
I understand your point and I disagree with it. It is not "ethnicity" ... this may work as an explanation in NY but in Israel your citizenship status is based on your religion, and those in the Jewish religion are now, by law, the ruling class.
Christians and Muslims are now second class citizens and this status, too, is based not on an ethnicity, but on religion.
This is why Netanyahu called this a "defining moment" in the state of Israel. It is.
Israel is no longer a democracy. Israel is either a theocratic state or an apartheid state. I'm choosing to go with theocracy.
