So Israel should have any right to pass whatever laws it wants. None of our business as well?

No birth control = freedom of religion
Banning religious observances = cool!

And if you see things the exact opposite way, are you not equally inconsistent?

Awful lot of hypocritical cons here: freedom for me, not for thee.

What will all their college kids eat?

Yeah bad play on words joke. Don't feel obligated to laugh but it shows how much I care what China does here.

Besides, try as hard as they might they can't actually ban something like this.

Correct.

If Israel elected to ban Ramadan within its borders I wouldn't care in the least. I would say the UN might have issue if they attempted to ban it in areas granted autonomy from Israeli law.
I honestly don't care what laws another country passes. Not our business.
I do care when our tax dollars are used or our soldiers are placed in harms way for the interests of another country when those interests are not our own. Many seem to confuse Israel's interests with those of the United States. One is not the same as the other and often are not at all in our best interest. Israel may be an ally, but they are no friend.

Was it done in the United States? Then it isn't our problem or our concern.

How is it hypocritical? I would support a ban here as well.

Because if it were banning a Christian observance you wouldn't feel the same.

Nope, not our problem, just hilarious to watch you all cheer for this compared to how you would react if it were a Christian minority in a foreign country.

Which "observance" and how do you know? Religious freedom, if we can call this that, protects beliefs not practices. That's why Native Americans can's smoke peyote.
