Opinion: Theocracy Is Not What I Want for Israel
Original: Opinion | Theocracy Is Not What I Want for Israel
A New York Times opinion piece argues that Israel should not become a theocracy, voicing concern that religious rule is a growing force in the country's politics. The author, writing as someone invested in Israel's future, warns against the blending of state power and religious authority and calls for a democratic, pluralistic Israel rather than one governed by religious law.
Why now: Ongoing debates in Israel over the role of religion in government, including judicial overhaul tensions, have made the country's character as a Jewish and democratic state a live topic.
