Should we have a state-of-israel tag?

Question

We have zionism and I see now israel-defense-forces, but no state-of-israel. Questions that are actually about the State of Israel frequently are tagged eretz-yisrael even if they have nothing to do with the Land, per se. This strikes me as silly.

Shouldn't we have a state-of-israel tag?

Example candidate questions:

• Does the State of Israel fulfill the coming of the Messiah?
• Is it Halachically forbidden to go to Israel?
• The blessing for 600,000 Jews
• Rav Moshe Feinstein's opinion on the State of Israel
• Which type of government is suitable in the present world according to Jewish Law?
• Is it a Mitzva Deorayta (Biblical Commandment) to serve in the IDF?

Answer 1

UPDATE: This has been implemented.

I propose that we:

• Remove israel as a synonym for eretz-yisrael, since that just creates confusion now that there are separate tags for the Land and the State (and the People, for that matter).

• Update the tag wiki excerpt for eretz-yisrael to something along the lines of:

  Questions related to the religiously-defined geographical area, the Land of Israel.

  and add a tag wiki that notes that questions related to the modern State of Israel as a political entity should be tagged state-of-israel.

• Create state-of-israel, with a tag wiki excerpt along the lines of:

  Questions related to the modern geopolitical entity, the State of Israel, and life within it.

  and a tag wiki that notes that questions related to the Land of Israel as a religiously-defined geographical area should be tagged eretz-yisrael and that being about the State of Israel doesn't ipso facto make the question on-topic.

• Create a synonym for it: medinat-yisrael.

• Apply this tag to all questions currently tagged israel-defense-forces, and remove that tag, since it's more granular than necessary.

• Consider applying this tag to each question about or relating to the geopolitical entity of the State of Israel and life within it.

• Consider removing eretz-yisrael from each question that bears it and isn't about the Land of Israel per se.
