I do not accept your definition of Israel being a "g-d" just because it is self-justifying, etc.

I hope you'll reconsider this. If a thing exists in its own right, by its own right, without reference to anything outside itself and not subject to any external control, it must be almighty, eternal, and divine. Only God can have such attributes. From time to time I accuse fundamentalist "Bible-believing" Christians of bibliolatry because they make such claims for Holy Scripture. I happen to believe that many Jews are susceptible to a similar temptation when it comes to the Zionist State.

Ah, I understand where you are coming from now. Yes, I agree with this explanation.

I don't know about "many", but there are some, no doubt.
