"Blurring the Lines: How the Erosion of Israel's 'Jewish and Democratic' Identity Puts Jewish Communities at Risk In a disturbing trend, Israel's government has been quietly dismantling the distinction between its Jewish and democratic identities, sparking concern among Jewish communities around the world.

As tensions rise, one thing is clear: the collapse of this distinction protects no one - least of all the Jewish communities it claims to defend."
