Boy it really sounds like you finally woke up. If you would have it your way your state would be somewhere in Africa and your Wailing Wall would be some tax collection building in that African country of your choice. You are living in Eretz Yisroel, the holy land with a history. Have it your way and your next prime Minister may even be an Arab who may end up justifying your demise and murder just because you are Jewish, regardless of you being an "Enlightened Jew".
You are not the first to claim that we Jews must be enlightened and forget our Torah, history and tradition.
German Jews preceded you with their "Enlightened" approach. Unfortunately, Hitler didn`t spare them because they were enlightened and drove their cars on Shabbos, ate pork and enjoyed a nice bread sandwich on Passover. Neither did the Romans spare the free thinking Jews.
The land of Israel is a Jewish country and is not as democratic as you would like it to be. Wake up Gideon.
