Israel = nation state. Jews = ethno-religious group.

Completely different.

Distinct concepts? Sure. But completely different is an exaggeration.

Look, I'm sure Israel wants to be a jewish state, just like Pakistan wants to be an Islamic state and some people want the US to be a Christian state. That doesn't mean much except politics. The fact of the matter is that nation states are very different beasts from ethno-religious groups.
