Rabbi and Professor, Marc Gopin, Director of the Center on Religion, Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution at George Mason University says that Israel has a “purposeful confusion between state interests and religious interests that continually puts the State of Israel at risk.”
“States can build a rational construct for its citizens and neighbors if they have a clear set of needs,” said Gopin. “But when they collapse into messianic religious needs that have no boundaries and that are based on dreams and not reality it becomes the basis for ultranationalist and fascistic fantasies.”
