25. Israel is not a Theocracy

the Torah spells out what the laws and customs of a Jewish theocracy should be. Israel pays lip service to a very few of them in a very few social areas, but for actual political and human rights issues, adopts a very different line. If you care to look at Israel, you'll find that its a very modern, secular state.

Efforts to bring religion into the public sphere have met with widespread hostility from both the left and the right, witness the meteoric rise of Tommy Lapid and his party.
