having overwhelming military superiorty over neighbors

They didn't start that way. They built that capability out of very real necessity, coming many times pretty close to annihilation.

taking their land

By internationally agreed decisions, and after winning wars, I suppose?

and having extremely close ties with modernized western countries

Yes, that's a good idea. Every country should do that.

How exactly is Isreal not religious (state religion is Judaism)

State religion is perhaps an alien concept for Americans (which I guesstimate you are), but it's a pretty normal thing in Europe. It doesn't say much about religiousity, although clearly Israel has more crazy in that department than Europe, but also quite a lot less than typical muslim countries.

As for Israel, the largest religious group (33% in 2016) is "Judaism/Hiloni", which is essentially a secularist/nonobserving version of Judaism. The actual number of secularists might be even actually higher.

How is it not terroristic (you kill one of their citizens they kill 10 of your citizens and take your land)?

Terrorism isn't defined by numbers. It's defined by tactics and intentions.

How is it not fascist when Gaza is literally a concentration camp for 2 million people?

It's literally not a concentration camp for 2 million people. You need to look up concentration camps.

I wonder if the fact they aren’t muslim or as brown makes them better to you?

Color has nothing do with it. Islamistic terrorism is a significant enemy of human civilization, however. That indeed does make them better for me.

Of the Union's 27 states, only three have an official state religion, these being Denmark (Church of Denmark), Greece (Church of Greece), and Malta (Catholic Church).

Out of 27 countries, only three have official religions and they're pretty small. Don't talk shit out of your ass maybe?

Where did you grab that bullshit data from, ChatGPT? I live in a EU country that has an official state religion, and it's none of those three countries. Or is there some semantic thing going on here? Is it not an official state religion even though it's directly funded by the government, and government officials attend official religious events regularly?

Don’t talk shit out of your ass maybe?

Right back at you, buddy.
