The motto "In God We Trust" reaffirmed.
In America.
Israel still strictly non-religious.
The House of Representatives voted this week on a resolution “reaffirming ‘In God We Trust’ as the official motto of the United States.” It went through a speeded-up process and passed 396 to 9, with all but one of the no votes coming from Democrats; two members voted “present.” The Senate had passed a similar measure in 2006 when Republicans controlled that chamber.
Imagine if we attempted legislation here on that theme. Last time was over 60 years ago in the dispute over mentioning the divinity in Israel's Declaration of Independence.

That is really quite sad.
