@Marc, I think they mean that dividing states based on the majority religion can be offensive in some ways. I think that the way you determine how the state is governed is by how capable that person is in politics, and that they are elected by the people, not simply by the ethnic or religious group. Also, how do Arabs and Jews both seem like ethnic groups? Judiasm is a religion, an Arab is a panethnic group. The proposal made just seems offensive anyway, the majority of the population will have the say, and the minorities won't have any as that group will have the dominance. The state idea isn't that bad, you just need to change the way it is governed. Also, I think the Arabs with muslim backgrounds and such wouldn't be loyal to Israel itself, as the majority in the Muslim word would support having their own country. If you want to separate Israel into places based on ethnic groups or like, religion, you may need to make semi-autonomous states or something similar to it
