Israel IS a multicultural state. There are Jews and non Jews from many
cultures. All this within the framework of being a Jewish state. This does
not necessarily mean a theocracy because the vast majority of Israelis are
secular Jews.

This is true, and proof positive that it is not a theocratic state as are
a good number of the Arab states the US sends money to also. Israel is
and was designed to be a democracy for Jews.

You don't know what the fuck your talking about do you? How did you come to this
conclusion pray tell? Do you just make up shit like Cooper's stats?

This is probably true. But the settlers are not the same as the general Israeli
population. They are a VERY distinct minority as well as a source of
disapproval for many Israelis.
The settlers are a pawn in the game. If the Palestinians keep this shit up,
the settlers will win because they will get to stay on their newly stolen
lands. If the Palestinians finally get smart, the settlers will be forced out
of the homes they risked their lives for by Israel.
Not very complicated really.
