–My personal opinion, is that the State of Israel as it stands is a secular state (with some significant Jewish influences). As it is a secular state, I am hesitant to say that the State of Israel is synonymous with Jewish Sovereignty over the Land of Israel.–
You are sort of correct. Come live here a while and you’ll see how correct. This place is pure secularity. In America I sat at work between two Catholics. In Israel, I sit between two atheists.
Where you are wrong is the part about significant Jewish influence. They only steal Jewish symbols because they can’t think of any on their own. The chilonim hate Judaism.
