I though it was clear and implied that I was referring to the Jews living in Israel as living across the world in case of no Israel, as the discussion here is about the Jews living in Israel.

But we can never lose an opportunity to try to look more intelligent and informed than others on the internet right?

I'm not feeling bad because I've done my research.

But good job attacking me while ignoring my second sentence which was about Jews living in Israel.

Religion IS a big motivation for the state of Israel existing in that very location. Remove religion from the equation and the people currently living in Israel would be fine with living somewhere else. Not necessarily scattered around the world (though a lot wouldn't mind) but maybe in a state of their own... elsewhere. There's enough land where no one lives after all. Of course that land belongs to some other country but taking it away from them wouldn't be nearly as bad as taking it from a place where plenty of people have been living for a long time.

Ignoring religion, you really think they would have been against forming their own state outside of Israel's territory if they were given the opportunity?

You definitely does not fell bad, you probably get off on it, I'm certain it makes you feel good to point the finger at someone saying something wrong even after I pointed out I was talking about the people living in Israel.

As for your second point I see no reason to rebuke it, I already stated my opinion. If you think stripping out religion the Jews would accept creating their nation/country in a place totally detached from their place of origin then good for you.
