Premiership hopeful Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, in an address to the United Jewish Communities Jerusalem General Assembly on Wednesday stated “Israel is not a monopoly of rabbis”.
The senior government minister pointed out that while Israel is indeed a Jewish state, it is not a religious one. She stressed that Israel’s goal must be a continued existence that combines Jewish and democratic values, permitting residents to live in total security.

As if this was a revelation!
Unfortunately, Israel cannot remain a true democracy and give Arabs full rights because they will vote Israel out of existence.
What Mrs. Livni needs to understand is “You can attempt to take the Jew out of the Yid but you cannot take the Yid out of the Jew”. Jewish democratic values are called Halachah. Total security comes from the Torah way of life.
