Are these things true of Israel?

Question

Please comment on each or some of the following statements (not necesserily my opinions):

- Israel should never have been recreated by the west (without consulting the Palestinians).

- Jerusalem should not be devided into two halves, irrespective of who gets what.

- Jerusalem could exist as an independant state.

- Israel is a reality, its creation cannot be undone.

- Israel is a theocracy as it is governed by religious law.

- Israel is right in forcefully defending its citizens from those who incite or execute violence against them.

- Israel has commited war crimes in its attacks on its neighbours.

- Israel abuses the strength of its lobby in the USA to supress neighbours.

- Israel has caused many of its own problems.

- Israel's favouritist treatment of Jews is unjust, immoral and contrary to modern values.

- There can be peace between Israel and its neighbours eventually.

And finally, a trivial question which has been bothering me. Is pork illegal in Israel?
