Judaism isn't just a religion; Israel happily accepts non-religious Jews. The goal was to solve a massive refugee problem for a persecuted group with nowhere else to go.

In any case, as a sovereign state, Israel gets to decide on its own immigration policy, regardless of how foreigners feel about it.

Judaism is in fact, just a religion. Zionists are not refugees, they are colonists. They didn’t need to “go” anywhere and regardless of need, never had the right to set foot in Palestine.

Without the US, Israel will cease to exist. It’s my problem to deal with as a US citizen.

Never heard of non-religious Jews or Jewish atheism before?

Those are just variants of the religion. Identifying as Jewish is a conscious decision as is identifying as Catholic or Christian.
Is that what your Imam told you?
