"I suspect that the Jews of the USA or of Britain would regard it as antisemitic if Christians would propose that the USA or the United Kingdom should become a 'Christian state', belonging only to citizens officially defined as 'Christians'.
"The consequence of such doctrine is that Jews converting to Christianity would become full citizens because of their conversion.
"It should be recalled that the benefits of conversions are well known to Jews from their own history.
"When the Christian and the Islamic states used to discriminate against all persons not belonging to the religion of the state, including the Jews, the discrimination against Jews was at once removed by their conversion.
"But a non-Jew discriminated against by the State of Israel will cease to be so treated the moment he or she converts to Judaism.
"This simply shows that the same kind of exclusivity that is regarded by a majority of the diaspora Jews as antisemitic is regarded by the majority of all Jews as Jewish.
"To oppose both antisemitism and Jewish chauvinism is widely regarded among Jews as a 'self-hatred', a concept which I regard as nonsensical."

The UN ranks Israel among the 15 best countries to live in (out of 170 countries) in the world and with the highest qualities of life, emphasizing political and cultural freedom and equality in education, healthcare, life expectancy and income, ahead of England, Spain, Greece, Italy, Finland, Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg and Austria
Statistics | Human Development Reports (HDR) | United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
Human Development is a development paradigm that is about much more than the rise or fall of national incomes. It is about creating an environment in which people can develop their full potential and lead productive, creative lives in accord with their needs and interests. People are the real wealth of nations. Development is thus about expanding the choices people have to lead lives that they value. And it is thus about much more than economic growth, which is only a means if a very important one of enlarging peoples choices.
Fundamental to enlarging these choices is building human capabilities the range of things that people can do or be in life. The most basic capabilities for human development are to lead long and healthy lives, to be knowledgeable, to have access to the resources needed for a decent standard of living and to be able to participate in the life of the community. Without these, many choices are simply not available, and many opportunities in life remain inaccessible.

"The first difficulty in writing about this subject is that the term 'Jew' has been used during the last 150 years with two rather different meanings.
"To understand this, let us imagine ourselves in the year 1780.
"Then the universally accepted meaning of the term 'Jew' basically coincided with what the Jews themselves understood as constituting their own identity.
"This identity was primarily religious, but the precepts of religion governed the details of daily behavior in all aspects of life, both social and private, among the Jews themselves as well as in their relation to non-Jews.
"It was then literally true that a Jew could not even drink a glass of water in the home of a non-Jew.
"And the same basic laws of behavior towards non-Jews were equally valid from Yemen to New York.
"Whatever the term by which the Jews of 1780 may be described and I do not wish to enter into a metaphysical dispute about terms like, 'nation' and 'people'1 it is clear that all Jewish communities at that time were separate from the non-Jewish societies in the midst of which they were living."
Are some of these "same basic laws of behavior toward non-Jews" currently on display in Area C and Gaza?

When was it Jews were not allowed to drink as much as a glass of water in a non-Jew's house?"The first difficulty in writing about this subject is that the term 'Jew' has been used during the last 150 years with two rather different meanings.
Drinking in the afternoon, too? Gin? Vodka?
Doesn't that sound racist?
