Well not exactly.  Remember that there are a lot of non-Jews in Israel. And not all Jews are religious. Not to mention the issue of what you mean by Israel; i.e. what is considered the border.

These are very complicated and nuanced issues.  There is one thing that I have seen over the years in mailing lists, blogs, face to face, etc the probability of any discussion of Israel turning into a shouting match or flame war tends to be very high.  Not absolute but very high.
