Addressed to your subject:

This is sneaky, and a dirty trick on my part. Can’t resist.

Israel is a -

na·tion (n³“sh…n) n. 1. A relatively large group of people organized under a single, usually independent government; a country. 2. The government of a sovereign state. 3. A people who share common customs, origins, history, and frequently language; a nationality. 4.a. A federation or tribe, especially one composed of Native Americans. b. The territory occupied by such a federation or tribe. --na“tion·hood” n.

Judaism is a –

re·lig·ion (r¹-l¹j“…n) n. Abbr. rel., relig. 1.a. Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe. b. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship. 2. The life or condition of a person in a religious order. 3. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader. 4. A cause, a principle, or an activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.

Very sloppy minds confuse the two. Tired minds, maybe. Undeveloped, fetal minds. Certainly unsophisticated minds.

However, some people confuse political and economic systems, and that’s a similar mistake.
