From a high standpoint of morality you are correct but history dictates that it is written by the victors and might makes right.
I am not comfortable with Theocracies existing in a modern world, it is an irrational pov capable of anything, while Israel and the United States have
Theocratic elements within which are slowly being dealt with as they are mainly materialistic societies Iran is a genuine Theocracy with it's rule of
law in the hands of only a few highly volatile individuals, even within theocratic elements within our societies, both Christianity and Judaism
proclaim that Armageddon is not inevitable Christ posed this as a choice and most Jews do not believe in this at all while Islam is practicing
conversion from a POV of where Christianity was centuries ago and Judaism doesn't convert at all, let alone "by the sword"
Bottom line theocracy has no place in a global society, they do pose a genuine threat to world stability, the problem with the "moral" approach is
two fold:
A: It assumes the opposition has the same sensibilities as you do
B: Your capacity to exist as a person in this world who comes at life from a "higher perspective" actually only exists due to having been raised in
relative safety and security which allows for the thought process to develop and this safety and security that allows you to be this person exists
because we periodically shed blood to maintain it, it seems highly contradictory and "biting the hand that feeds you" to condemn the methodology
that allows for it
Patriotism is admirable, but, to blindly follow is not excusable.
