Israel is their ‘promised land’. It is more about religion than people would like to admit.
And while I agree there are a fair amount of Jewish people that are essentially like lapsed Catholics and Christians that don’t buy the full text word of the Bible/Torah, it is essentially wrong to argue that it is NOT a part of their religion when it absolutely IS.
This is like Holocaust denial in the 21st century. Those that refuse to see what the Jew-Nazis are doing.
