There are nearly 1.5 million non-Jews living in Israel today - mostly Arab. Plus, there exists a large number of Muslim refugees from Israel who own property there but who are not allowed to return to their property.
Given that, what does it mean to be a "Jewish state"? Let's remember that the issue is whether Israel is recognized as a "Jewish state", NOT whether Israel is recognized as a permanent state.
I'd point out that Israel has a serious problem with the idea that Israelis living in West Bank would EVER be governed by Palestinian law like Palestinians in Israel are governed by Israeli law.
Read some more moron. Israel currently has about 1.7 million Arab Muslims who are Israeli citizens with full rights, including owning property.
And you see no matter how often this is repeated, the ideologues skim right over it.
I understand----because I learned about the islamic POV---from muslims and about
nazism from nazis. First things first. In the nazi town of my
early childhood-----until the Post World War II era was well
underway----there were no jews or blacks in town. The actual core
population was -----anglican (we called it episcopalian) methodist
and lutheran ----with some British isle type catholics thrown in
the mix. Then with the post world war II---baby and house
building BOOOM-----and the phenomenon of VA MORTGAGES---
jews did gain entry by the good graces of reluctant Lutherans.
In that town----a sign of extreme liberalism included something
my clueless mother did-----whilst people refused to let
black and hispanic roadway repair men drink from their
garden hoses-----my clueless mom brought pitchers of ice water
and----<gasp> glasses out to the sweating men. (that's
water----not even lemonade----she was no RADICAL. In
my all white school----we said the Pledge of Allegiance every
day ----"WITH FREEDOM AND JUSTICE FOR ALL" ----depends
on how you define "freedom and justice" and "all"
A few years later I learned the word "toleration" ---which
according to my muslim informants (from southeast asia)
DEFINES ISLAM which has "the most toleration"---for
everyone. Depends on how you define "toleration" and
"everyone"---------according to those of the MOST
TOLERATION-----any suggestion that the "koran" is not the
one and only TRUTH------should obviously be construed as a
CAPITAL CRIME (obviously) and any suggestion that a
hindu---is "equal" to a muslim is ----obviously a joke (of
course jews should agree since hindus have 'idols')
