And lets not forget the other issue of democracy in a Jewish State and the basic question of "who is a Jew?". Who gets the power over the faith? Will there be a Jewish version of the Pope? How would he be picked? What would be the power of the Rabbinut compared to the government? What if the people voted for secularization? How would the legal system be set up? If the legal system was based solely on Jewish Law, would all of the judges be Rabbis? Who would pick them? What if Jews abroad were being victimized and in need of safe harbour but the religious leadership did not recognize them as Jews? The question of the Jewish State and democracy goes far beyond Israeli/Arab relations. I'd certainly be interested in how you envision that working.
