Theocratic Ethostate

Okay so someone brought this to my attention and I really wanted to talk about it.

I get a lot of people saying that Israel is meant to be their own theocratic ethnostate. Which you guys are completely forgetting that even in the original bible it wasn’t just jewish people living there. There were also muslims as well as Christians. Palestine was seen as a harmonious paradise for people of all religions and cultures to live together in peace

In this day and age the world has become much more diverse, with people coming from all over living in the same societies.

so for Israelis to try and run out the Palestinians it goes against everything the land itself was founded upon.

The problem with basing everything around a founding mythology is that any people who have existed for some time or is an adherent of a large faith can claim it as their Holy Land.

The Holy Land is sacred to Jewish people, Christians and Muslims. If we truly believe in liberty and equality, we can't have a theocracy. Whether it be Muslim, Christian or Jewish.

For background, I come from a Christian family, but converted to Zoroastrianism. I'm not by blood Persian and I don't think have rights to land in Iran because of my conversion.
