What is the connection between sovereignty and religion?

Rabbi Nava Hefetz 19

What is the connection between sovereignty and religion?

My connection to the City of the Patriarchs will not be less strong because there are Palestinians there - it doesn't belong to me any less. But there is a reality and today we have almost 1.5 million human beings [in the West Bank] so we have to be realistic. I cannot go and take over Hebron - I mean, I can because the state makes it possible - but, according to my worldview, I cannot. What I try to say to young people is, don't take things for granted. Question everything. Study these matters, examine them in depth, read - not newspapers - read academic studies. Go out, see what is happening on the ground and then decide, then form an opinion.
