There is no Pagan state. There is no Zoroastrian state. There is no Mormon state. There is no Satanist state. There is no atheist state. In fact, there isn't even a Christian state in the same sense that there's a Jewish state. As far as I know, there is no state that apportions rights and citizenship based on religion or ethnic identity except one. If you can point me to another, I'll oppose that one too. The idea is rotten at its core.

As for morality, yes, I think morality is a good thing and is an essential safeguard against the worst humanity is capable of and the main pathway to the best we have to offer. You appear to disagree, which is fine. But as I've said several times before, I think this is such an unbelievably brainless, ahistorical and monstrous position that I have no interest in engaging with it. Not to mention that I don't believe for a second you live by it in your daily life.

If we actually lived in a society where "might makes right," you and everyone you loved would be dead or a slave. Morality and the rule of law prevent that outcome for you. Even if you like to pretend you're a tough guy who doesn't need them.

Lastly, the fact that you think the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza can "look to their brethren in Israel" as an example of "where they could be" shows how almost unbelievably little you understand this conflict.

And the fact that you think that in any group of human beings the overwhelming majority don't prioritise their families' welfare is evidence of how effective the racist, dehumanising propaganda you've been absorbing has been on you.

To be clear, I don't criticise you or anybody for being ignorant, there are a million things I'm ignorant about too. I criticise you for talking so blithely about things and people you clearly know nothing about.
