Israel isn't Judaism, it's a State, but it was created as a religious state, something a lot of people were very worried about back in the 1940s. The separation of religion and state took place in the USA in 1791, and, is a normal ideal in the secular world. It's the norm, to demand the right to have a religious State is the exception. For those who do not know who James Forrestal is, he created the Department of Defense in the USA that unified the military under a single organization, and he was at the top of that organization as the first Secretary of Defense, second only to the president. He was as high up as you could get.
Why were people worried about a religious state? States are very powerful tools, they can also be very dangerous tools. Having well functioning elections and democratic processes are very important, if you do not have those, you do get corruption, always. Grounded in those premises, there is a lot of people, and a lot of very high profile people, and also a lot of evidence, that Israel has been using psychological warfare against the USA for quite some time, and also that they were behind 9/11. Note, Israel, not Judaism. Steve Pieczenik was the expert on psychological warfare under Henry Kissinger, about as high up as you can get, and he is on the record with that Israel did 9/11. Then, there is the other obvious ties, like Larry Silverstein admitting to "pulling building 7" back in 2005 in an interview on PBS, and his close relationship to Benjamin Netanyahu, whose father Benzion wrote The Founding Fathers of Zionism.
The base line is, Israel is not Judaism. What it is, is a type of State that most, or all, other States have chosen to not organize as, a religious state.
Yes good to pin point the issue. I think the fallacy is A is B but not all B is A, false equivalence, something like that. The reason for the separation of state and religion was exactly because religion, older social organization, does not really scale that well as the world progressed technologically and culturally. Re-ligare just means "bind together", and it is common sense that binding the world together in the 21st century with ideas from a millennia ago or two millennia or three millennia does not necessarily work. I'm attempting to "bind together" the world with my peer-to-peer protocols, like http://pseudonympairs.tech/, not by some arbitrary norm from a million years ago or ten thousand years ago. Like, "do not have sex before marriage", great way to regulate that people had stable lives before they procreated, but today, there are condoms and birth control, etc. The world evolves.
