Anytime you send weapons to theocracies, people die. Religions are never happy with what they have, because a fictional god gave them the entire world. So they fight, kill, and die for their fictional gods.

NEVER send weapons to theocracies.

Iran is a theocracy, and I’d send them nukes if I had any.

Religion is less of a factor in state geopolitical decision-making than you think.
It’s just one facet of the superstructure among many.

The problem with Israel isn't Judaism. Israel doesn't even follow the Halakha. Israel is a racist settler colony most similar to Apartheid South Africa. Without religion you still have politicians in New Zealand attempting to pass racist laws.

This might destroy you from the inside but Israel is an Atheist state. The only Judaism they believe in is being racially descended from Jews.
