It is fine for me to call Israel a Jewish state, as long as those that do so are comfortable with the United States being called a Christian nation.
There simply appears to be a lot of intolerance for people with a Jewish background. Prayer was removed from public schools as a result of a Supreme Court decision brought forward by a Jew from New York, "under God" has been removed from the Pledge as a result of a man that celebrates Passover and other Jewish holidays with his family, and two Jewish lawmakers protested a Christian minister using the name Jesus in a prayer and as a result the minister was prevented from entering the Maryland state legislature by the Seargeant-at- Arms.
Despite these efforts, I think we can all agree Israel is a Jewish state and America is a Christian nation.
Thanks.
