He needs to hold a clear and definite distinction between interfaith marriages and interracial marriages in his mind because Israel only bans one of those.

The fact that banning interfaith marriages in Israel also effectively bans the majority of interracial marriages is just an unfortunate side effect, surely.

It's because Jew is a fuzzy term when it comes to the question of whether it's a religion, race, nationality, or something else. That sounds insane, and it is, but the malleability is integral to both antisemitism and Israel as a nation-state.

In Israel, the answer is very easy: it is your nationality. People fought and lost in their Supreme Court for the right to have an Israeli nationality instead of a Jewish one. Conversely, a Palestinian who converts to Judaism doesn't legally become a Jew, again according to their courts.

The problem Israel keeps banging into is, as usual: "That's not how Judaism works."
