So much for "Israeli democracy" which really means forcing everyone to follow Jewish religious customs. Israel defines itself as a "Jewish state" and cares nothing for the beliefs and rights of Gentiles (non-Jews.) I recently saw a news item of an Israeli Arab who was arrested for lighting a cigarette on a Jewish sabbath. No wonder thousands of Israeli Christians have fled from Israel where everything is run according to archaic Judaism.
