Israel and Israelis (not jews)

Russia and Russians

not Russia and Eastern Orthodox christians. That would be your comparison. You are taking a country and labeling a whole people of a religion, Not a good comparison, and there is your flaw. Now of course most of Israel is jewish, but you are still making assumptions. Your logic of saying if people identify Russians with Russia does not hold up. Thats simply an excuse you are making for generalizing facts about jews.
