Why do we refer to Israel as “the Jewish state,” but not Palestine as “the Muslim state?” Why do we conflate religion with nationality?

Because Israel was founded as a state where Jews could go and not worry about Christians killing them any time the harvest was a bit sub-optimal?

Seriously, I'm sure you're a nice person, but you clearly have no idea what's going on here, or the long and sad histories behind it.
