Israel is the only country in the Middle East with a predominantly Jewish population. Prior to the establishment of Israel, several other Middle Eastern countries had significant Jewish populations, but nealy all the Jews in those countries have emigrated to Israel.

Israel is the only country in the world where more than 50% of the population

identify themselves as Jews. Interestingly, however, Israel is also one of the few

countries in the region that does not designate an official national religion, and

in which Muslims, Christians, and Jews hold full equal rights as citizens, own homes

and land, and live free of fear.

AnswerIsrael is the only country in the world where more than 50% of the population

identify themselves as Jews. Interestingly, Israel is proposing to move towards identifying itself as both 'democratic' and 'Jewish', presumably without intended irony. It is also proposed that non-Jewish immigrants formally acknowledge Israel as a 'Jewish nation'. In some areas of Israel, there are movements to prevent the sale or rent of homes to non-Jews, and Israeli Arabs are subject to various forms of disguised discrimination.

The only nation in the world where a majority of the population identifies themselves as

adherents of Judaism is Israel. But it's not correct to refer to Israel as a "Jewish nation".

In contrast to many nations of the world ... most notably several of its geographic neighbors ...

Israel does not have an officially designated state religion. Muslims, Christians, and Druze,

as well as Jews, have citizenship, have the vote, serve in the Israeli Defense Forces, own

businesses, worship openly, and have elected members in the nation's parliament (the

Knesset).
