A State of Jewish Law Means the End of the State?
Question
What do you think of this statement? Seemingly, a full-fledged state governed by Jewish law would mean the end of democracy, and the beginning of an Iran-style state in the Holy Land.
Answer
Those are just empty words. The question is what exactly a 'state of Jewish law' means. The concept is not defined, and everyone interprets it in his own way. That of course also depends on whether the population would be entirely religious or not.
