I thought I might explore if one can have a jewish state or islamic, buddhist, hindu for that matter. Please note only biblically illiterate evangelicals in the USA believe you can have a christian state. If you are a christian a theocracy is impossible. for a Jew it was tried and it failed badly as most Jews were not believers in God!
The one reason you cannot have a Jewish state ( or the rest) is that you either implicitly or explicitly make non-Jewish people second rate citizens. We can see this in Israel today but also in Pakistan or Iran for example.
In a democracy all people are supposed to be equal. This cannot be in a state for one religion.
Having said all that Israel exists as do Pakistan and Iran. We all recognise them as countries.
Therein lies the problem.
