Why is this news if the state of Israel has finalized and normalized the practise of it's neighboring billion people - all proud to live in "Islamic" states, mostly under Islamic Sharia law.
Because Israel is supposed to be better than their neighbors? At least that was my perception of them.
This selective application of reason makes no sense. Trigger a wave of secularism in the Islamic world that surrounds Israel, get them to acknowledge Israel as a country and take off their agenda the destruction of Israel. Maybe then, we can opine on Israel's proclamation as a Jewish state, which BTW, is the reason their neighbors want them off the map. Put another way "we want you gone because you're Jewish, but you're not allowed to officially claim to be a Jewish state" is the hypocrisy we're dealing with
