    Think of it like this: when Trump was President he could have come out and said that the United States was a nation for Christians alone.

    He could say it. He could get applause for it. But that wouldn’t make it true.

    In law school I took an Israel-US comparative law class. Israel doesn’t have a constitution, but they do have Basic Laws which serve the same purpose. Among those laws are guarantees of equal protection regardless of religion.

    So, think Israel’s PM as an Israeli Trump. He’s a dangerous, opening corrupt zealot, but he had a lot of internal opposition, and his words are not law.
