It was an example. You are missing the point.
The point is: if a state has in its base law a preference for one religion over another, it can never call itself secular. Even if they teach evolution in schools.
Ok, so you agree that israel differenciates between religions.
Positive descrimination is still discrimination, especially then you discriminate in favor of the majority.
Example: USA is the state of the cristian people. Is this good? Is this secular?
If i said: South Africa is the official state of the white people. How would you feel about it?
Sorry, but israel is a theocracy.

You either see jewish people as a religion or a race. Therefore the state is either theocratic or, well, racist.
If hamas stops existing another will take its place.
Terrorism does not work the same way as states do. Its a hydra.
The only way to solve this is to end the reason why it exists in the first place. Give palestinians a viable state, stop with the settlements, allow international supervision.
If people have a job, safety, food on their plate, they tend to not be terrorists.
They can, and they do: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/19/egypt-rafah-crossing-aid-enter-gaza-why-closed-israel-us-egypt?trk=public_post_comment-text
Dont quote me on this, but i think the majority (all) of aid comes through egypt.
Thing is, it "has" to have the supervision of Israel or else they would whine about weapons in trucks.
Dude, they are bombing hospitals, ambulances, refugee camps, UN offices, UN schools, starving people, etc. I dont know what to tell you.
Lets hope you never find yourself in the same neighbourhood as a hostage taker or idf may as well bomb it.
Well, thats to be expected. They are, in fact, terrorists. Whats not expected is the lack of regard for human life from the idf.
If you think a state should have the same standards as a terrorist group, i dont know what to tell you
Good question. The official position is that they would not be able to go back to gaza once the war ended. And therefore they would be helping israel in displacing the palestinian people of their lands.
Plus, i suspect no one really wants 2M "permanent" refugees. On election season no less.
The current ratio for collateral "damage", as you called it, is 2-1. Are they missing and shooting terrorists by mistake?
