@Elizafox @Netzblockierer Like to be clear I don't disagree, but I think "secular state of Israel" might be the single most widely opposed policy of all, by any and all currently-active political groups.

@Elizafox @Netzblockierer Like all three wings of Jewish Israeli politics -- left-center, right, and religious -- I'm so sure all would oppose it. I don't know about the Arab List but I'm pretty sure they at minimum wouldn't touch it.
(There are secular Israelis represented in politics iirc, so there wouldn't be /nothing/ there.)
In the US, not only would anyone with a specific interest in Israel oppose it -- American Jews of every stripe and politics (except SOME corner of JVP?) and (more politically relevant) American Christian-Zionists (who would prolly manage to be directly antisemitic in opposing it) -- but also the general Islamophobic median public. Like heck you might even get some of the anti-Israel-for-Nazi-reasons right-wing to oppose it for secularism&advancing Islam as well.
The median Democratic politician probably wouldn't have an immediate position but the moment they saw everyone else's,.
@Elizafox @Netzblockierer Which leaves the US Left to the limited (but increasing) extent they exist, who would probably have the most scattered individuals interested in it but would mostly be against as incompatible with keeping space for "there shouldn't be an Israel".
Like there are some Trotskyist groups that went fullthroated "Israel Has The Right To Defend Itself" after October 7th, and I think? maybe one of those might be the biggest political organization you could get to voice support for this policy?
@Elizafox @Netzblockierer (I don't mean this as a prescriptive "don't hold this" or "don't try for/look for this" but as an observational "huh, I think this fits in a funny part of the political landscape".)
