The findings signal more difficulties for the Biden administration’s postwar vision for Gaza and raise questions about Israel’s goal of ending Hamas’ capabilities.
Islam is the second-largest religion in Israeli and Israeli Muslims have full rights and representation in government.
Israel is the “official state of the Jewish people” but not only a state for the Jewish people. It’s just the one that reliably won’t exterminate them.
The point is: if a state has in its base law a preference for one religion over another, it can never call itself secular. Even if they teach evolution in schools.
Sorry, but israel is a theocracy.

You either see jewish people as a religion or a race. Therefore the state is either theocratic or, well, racist.
It’s literally a secular state lol.

If i said: South Africa is the official state of the white people. How would you feel about it?
White people is a race, so it’s a little different. Also S.A. has a history of apartheid, so that would be worrying for them specifically.
Ok, so you agree that israel differenciates between religions.
Positive descrimination is still discrimination, especially then you discriminate in favor of the majority.
Example: USA is the state of the cristian people. Is this good? Is this secular?
I don’t believe an argument can realistically be made that the US is particularly Christian at all, as a government.
Some conservatives use Christianity as a tool to get elected though.
A Christian nation, for instance, would take care of their poor and welcome immigrants.
It was an example. You are missing the point.
The point is: if a state has in its base law a preference for one religion over another, it can never call itself secular. Even if they teach evolution in schools.
It doesn’t, though. None of its laws are preferential or exclusive. What you linked above isn’t a law that restricts anyone.
And if you’re curious, should a right-wing government there impose those laws, id wholeheartedly support reforms.
