UJM- I haven’t read all the comments, but as someone who is Dati Leumi, in theory, I’m not opposed to your solution.
I believe that the State of Israel is Atchlata DeGeulsa… but not because it’s a Jewish state. While I do take pride in a state run by Jews, the Magen David billowing in the air, our politicians in the UN defending our nation, our soldiers defending our people… that’s all emotional, I don’t think it’s Halachically significant. At the end of the day, it’s a secular government, not a Halachic one. Regardless of how many Jews hold within it a position of power.
What gives our government significance is what it does for our people. Is the biggest funder of Torah in the entire world. Protects our people and our Mekomos Kedoshim. And most importantly, has facilitated Kibutz Galuyos… through its Right of Return, Klal Yisroel is returning to its borders. We’re close to 50% of our nation in Eretz Yisroel. And since that is a fundamental piece of our geulah, I believe with almost 100% certainty that our government is Atchalta LeGeulas for facilitating that necessary redemptive step- Kibutz Galuyos.
That being said, if a non-Jewish, non-denominational government would provide all of that to our people, I think it would have the same significance Halachically. So if none of those positives would change, but a non-denominational state would bring greater peace, I’m on board. But I’m under no delusion that that’s the case. No non-Jewish government would give as much money to Torah or facilitate the Jewish growth of Eretz Yisroel as our government has. No non-Jewish government would give a blanket right of return to Jews world wide and fulfill Kibutz Galuyos.
And most importantly, it wouldn’t even fulfill it’s goal. No non-Jewish non-denominational government in Eretz Yisroel would be safer for Jews than the current government with it’s various security branches- Tzahal and Mossad and ISA and our police.
Hashem should continue to grant our government success, continue to facilitate our Kibutz Galuyos, protect our people, help our leaders make the right decisions, and bring Mashiach.
