As an atheist-jew living in Israel, I will be the first to denounce ultra-orthodox Jews living in Israel and their chosen lifestyle, and I truly hope they won't ever become a majority here. But like you said, until then- It's a western country with western values through and through
No it isn't. In my country religion has no impact whatsoever in who you can marry or your citizenship.
Israel is not "just like us". It is a country founded on a religion. It treats that religion as superior and grants it more status.
To be harsh Israel is more like KSA and Iran.
