There are Jews who see great importance in informing non-Jews the State of Israel is not fervently religiously observant. In fact, they say, Judaism in the ostensible State of the Jews is more of a deceptive veneer than anything else.
I’m thinking especially of “True Torah Jews”, whose website header screams: “Our mission is to inform the world that the State of Israel does NOT represent Jews or Judaism.”
Thank you, Captain Obvious!
Without even a minimal effort at investigation, anyone should assume this is the case. We all know and observe the official Cursedian identity of scores of states, in name only (by ANY standard). No need to study much history (or any at all, if you reside in one).
So what if the Israeli flag has a Star of David?! How many scores of countries have meaningless Shti Va’erev in their flags, merely a tachshit (you need not destroy the symbol on your Swiss Army Knife or luggage, strictly speaking)?
If anything, the claim signifies honest internal debate about the very facts, so their efforts are COUNTER-productive…
