@Fitik

Why would anyone in a democratic nation care what the opinion poll in a theocracy thinks?

Did they poll Iran or Saudi Arabia?

Who is the democratic nation and who is the theocracy in this scenario?
Just asking for anyone who might be uncertain... 👀

@rticks Israel is a democracy and you can care about any polls you want. There is a fringe idea of so called "Halachic state", the idea of Israeli laws being based on Talmud, however it's very unpopular among the Israel's population.

@Fitik

Israeli Basic Law requires Jewish Citizenship
Only Orthydox Rabbis can perform marriages

The Abomination Netenyahu parliament removed Judicial Review from laws

Thats not a democracy and if Biden doesnt enforce the court verdict prosecuting Trump neither will the Us be

Uhm- No? Google "Israeli Arabs"

Only Orthydox Rabbis can perform marriages

Not really https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_in_Israel

recognizes only marriages under the faiths of Jewish, Muslim, and Druze communities, and ten specified denominations of Christianity.[3] Marriages in each community are under the jurisdiction of their own religious authorities

In addition, Israel recognizes marriages from abroad, if someone can't marry in Israel they can marry in Cyprus for example (And now thanks to the Utah loophole they can get married in Israel) and their marriage will be recognized by the state.
