Christians and some of their progressive intersectional inheritors prefer to see Judaism as a 'faith' (in their own image), denying Judaism of its distinctive status as a nation - it's undoubtedly another transactional move by the President - but it's the right one
and this status existed WAY before the State of Israel - though Israel is the current expression of Israel nationhood
and progressives, please spare me, that there have always been Jews who have objected to the State of Israel - you really want to identify with these guys? 
and do note the initiative started with the chief of staff of the Democrat Harry Reid, and also from this @nytimes article that the Palestinian response focuses on 'Israel apartheid' nytimes.com/2019/12/10/us/…
Jewish Nationhood, and this claims to Jewish exceptionalism, is the claim unbearable to Christians for millennia - the roots of antisemitism in the West, then and...NOW
