    100% true, like how you can eat non kosher/halal if you are starving and there are no there options available

    A lot of people don't know the actual tenets of the religions they claim, just the (often not entirely correct parts) they gain through cultural osmosis, not that there's anything wrong with non-orthodoxy it's just you should probably read the book if your going to claim something as part of you identity

      Moreover for Jewish Israelis is that many of them are just secular but call themselves Jewish as an ethnic group.

      Like if I called myself a Christian for simply observing a few cultural traditions of my predominantly Christian community despite being totally secular in my spiritual practice.

      It has a dual benefit. Any violence against Israelis is inherently antisemitic, but without the caveat that you have to teach your children that Judaism forbids the creation of an ethnostate in the holy land only habitable by Jewish people.
