Yeah, having a national religion worked out JUST DANDY for the Brits - except for that whole trail of sectarian genocide around the world. If you don't think that whole idea was a catastrophe, then I suggest that this St. Patrick's Day you ought to go to a pub and and sing "God Save the Queen."
As for your comparing Germany and Israel -- well, let me say that I'm personally elated to hear that an Israel-backer has finally admitted that Israel upholds the same garbage laws as the racists of Bavaria. And gee, all this time you lovers of Israeli-apartheid were saying that we critics can't do the same.
Oh, and on Jordan and Iran -- you betcha that Israel supported that whole mess. That the Dulles Brothers were anti-Semites is beside the point - there are tons of anti-Semites who love Israel (look at Jeorg Haider). The fact is that as a rogue nation, Israel has always preferred to deal with anti-democratic neighboring regimes - they're easier to bribe and cajole.
