2. we need this bill to save us from secularisation & arabs
zionist forever   (05.09.17)
Herzel lived in another era before the idea of a JEWISH STATE was even on the table as Balfour did not promise a Jewish state just a homeland and it would not affect the arab majority ( zionists were a tiny minority ). in the modern world we need the nation state bill to protect from a growing arab population and their rising political influence and the rise of secularism. Between them the Jewish state idea would in time vanish in favour of a western stye religion free state of people because Jews have a history of assimilation to avoid trouble rather than leadership because there was no Jewish state so we need laws.
