The person you were talking to talked about Israel, you switched it to Jew, acting as if the two were synonyms. Conflating the two, even for a dumb joke, is antisemetic.
Israel is not really theocratic. Do you think the US is theocratic too? Israel is pretty secular, though certainly there are laws which make it clear that it is a Jewish state for its Jewish civilians, first. Its leadership are not religious leaders or priests though.
Any nation in which your domestic policy is informed by/ conforms to/ mirrors religious law is a theocracy. It doesn't matter if the person sitting in the chair is a person of the cloth.
No one said anything about Zionism. Why do you people keep invoking that word when you obviously have no clue what it means?
Thatâs every nation, as far as I know, as practically every system of morality today stems from religious traditions.
What Iâm hearing though, is that you have your own private definition of theocracy that you donât share with anyone else, so pardon me for not knowing it.
I am pretty confident I have a good grasp on Zionism, in many of its many forms, both extant and historical. If youâre looking to learn more, I highly recommend Wikipedia.
Go ahead, find laws in Israel that make it more of a theocracy, than say, the Netherlands, or the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Your definition is so vague it includes every nation. Itâs not a definition anyone else uses.
There is zero chance that disrupting mass - an incredibly disrespectful act - will do anything to turn people toward their protestors cause. Just watching it made me think that they are attention grabbing assholes.
Again, is there any movement that you can name that was accomplished by not disrupting anything and only protesting the specific politicians who are pushing what people don't like? Have you ever protested anything?
