If you would not feel comfortable with that, then as a majority you should simply keep the language neutral and agree to protect everyone.
Don't think about your government protecting you, think about what you would want your government to do if you are the minority.
I don't disagree with this post, but I disagree with the OP, as it seems to take the sentence, "Israel is a Jewish state" as if the word "Jewish" in that sentence is meant to be religious, when it's not. There are Muslim and Christian minorities living in Israel as citizens of Israel, and they are fully protected.
