Isn't it true that Israel defines itself as 'the Jewish State'? The idea of the 'Jewish State' is a lot more radical than, let's say, calling the U.S. a 'Christian nation'. It's more like having the U.S. define itself as an 'Aryan nation'.

Hey, Vast, it seems that you missed something in elementary school. "Jewish" and "Christian" refer to 2 of the world's major religions. "Aryan" refers to a racial subgroup of the Caucasian race, a subgroup whose existence is rather dubious. A "Jewish State" would be directly comparable to a "Christian nation," NOT an "Aryan nation."

And why is a "Jewish State" more radical in concept than a "Christian nation?" To me, these concepts are identical in nature.

You seem to have issues with things "Jewish." In the absence of any information to the contrary, I can only assume that those issues spring from some dark place in your heart.

No, I didn't. My comparison was quite apt. If you examine the 'Law of Return' that I posted, a Jew is someone who's mother was a Jew. Conversions are anything from very difficult to nearly-impossible. The basis for Jewishness is largely genetic - same as that of 'Arian-ness'.
