At the end of WW I � the world Jewry started it campaign of a separate Jewish state. The founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl, a Jew turned atheist � had not stomach for a religious state. He was willing to occupy any British colony and turned it into a socialist-secularist state for the world Jewry. He was willing to consider such countries as Uganda, Kenya or anything he could put his hands on. However, JWC leaders advised that the European Jews will never immigrate to a non-European country unless they are convince of some religious �mantra�. That�s how the Muslim majority Palestine into the �Zionist-equation�.

However, many people don't realize that Israel, in spite of its nominal Judaism, is a secular state that ignores the requirments of the Torah in almost every respect, which is why many Orthodox Jews condemn the democratic secular government or, in case of Torah Jews, even the existence of the State of Israel altogether. Far from being a righteous and religious Jewish State as many Evangelical Protestants would have us believe, public morality in Israel is about on a par with Eastern Europe since it's full of nightclubs, strip bars, prostitution and rampant nudity on television. It's these types of things, as well as flaunting the Sabbath as a day of rest (which seemingly should be punished by stoning) and other such religious code violations, that have the Orthodox conservatives in Israel in a sometimes-violent outrage.
