Is Israel a secular or religious state?

For religious Jews: does anyone have faith in Judaism because of the new State of Israel?

  • I have had periods of being religious, but have found many proofs that I've been shown to be flawed. But when I think about how the State of Israel was miraculously formed, and at a time when it looks like the "end of the world" could be coming within our lifetimes, it makes me think that Judaism really is true. Has anyone else ever thought this way?

  • Answer:

    I am sure the rebirth of Israel has inspired many people in the Jewish community

Wasn't Israel supposed to be founded by the messiah? Who knew the messiah would be a short Polish Jew named David Ben-Gurion and MORTAL?

Personally, my faith in G-d does not depend on the state of Israel.

The the state of Israel was not miraculously formed, it was obtained by coercion and political connivance by the Rothschild's who bought and paid for British politicians to conjure up the Balfour Agreement. Foreign Office, November 2nd, 1917. Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet: "His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country". I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. Yours sincerely Arthur James Balfour http://i53.tinypic.com/21k0579.jpg Note the part which reads " it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine" That means the Palestinians should not be herded into camps and bombed with white phosphorous or starved to death. I presume the Israelis learned this kind of behaviour from Hitler.

SO OCCUPYING A LAND THAT YOU TOOK BY FORCE: MEANWHILE TORTURING, DESTROYING, KILLING, HARASSING THESE PEOPLE, ALL MAKE YOU MORE RELIGIOUS????? THAT'S PRETTY MESSED UP BRO. IF I SAW WHAT MY PEOPLE DID AND HOW THEY DID IT, I WOULD BE FREAKING PISSED OFF. LET'S SAY EGYPT (MY COUNTRY) TOOK OVER GREECE (MAKE BELIEVE OF COURSE), I WOULD TOTALLY HATE IT. I'D BE LIKE WTH??? ANYWAY, IF YOU'RE A RELIGIOUS JEW, YOU SHOULD TOTALLY BE AGAINST THIS OCCUPATION. JUST SAYING, IT IS MORALLY WRONG!!!

YO!
