well ya know hearsay is not a good thing but i read an interesting story about an american jew who moved to israel, thinking he was going to help
rebuild the infrastructure of the nation. he was ashkenazi jew and he fell in love with a sephardic jew when he moved there, which apparently wasn't
a good thing because there's a pecking order there. the top of the heap are the socialist jews who came from russia. they are primarily atheists.
under them are the ashenazi jews and under them are the sephardic jews and under them, the christians and muslims (not sure which is dead last. i
think these 2 were equally in bad positions in israeli society). the bulk of the people in prison there are sephardic jews, christians and muslims,
particularly christians and muslims.
the guy said it's really a socialist country but no one realizes it because it is presented as a religious artifact to the rest of the world.
anyway, they could be supporting israel and not necessarily be supporting religion of any kind.
